Join us on Oxley Creek Common for an enthralling and educational guided walk with Professor Hugh Possingham, renowned ecologist, conservation scientist and passionate birder. With more than 200 bird species recorded across the Common’s wetlands, lagoons and forest trails, Oxley Common is one of Brisbane’s best birding hotspots. Depending upon the weather, Hugh estimates that we should see and hear about 65 species of birds on the walk. The walk will cover around 4-5km and take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, however people can head back any time. Professor Possingham is one of Australia’s most distinguished scientists and conservationists. Hosted by Australian Conservation Foundation. Meet 7am SHARP for a 7:15am start. Tickets $5.
