Bird Walk – Penguin Island
December 10, 2020 –
Meet at Mersey Point Jetty, off Arcadia Drive, Shoalwater at 8:15 am at the ticket office for Penguin Island. The ferries travel hourly between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm and cost $18 (with concession $16) return. We will catch the 9:00 am ferry.
The group will walk to the various places of interest on the island and, if participants wish, can attend the penguin feeding in the DCBA facility housing injured or orphaned penguins (additional cost). Bridled Tern, Little Penguin and Buff-banded Rail are often seen here and it is a haven for nesting sea birds.
There is a nice picnic area on the island but no shop so please bring all food and drink requirements. Also there are nice beaches and it is a good swimming area.
Leader: Pauline Woolley
Note: If you feel at all unwell - PLEASE STAY HOME. Please bring hand sanitizer with you, and supply your own pen to fill the attendance record. This will minimise unnecessary interpersonal contact.
We will still need to try to maintain the 1.5 m distancing.
