About the event
In this fourth and final camp-out as part of the 2020 C4RE (Caring 4 Refuge Ecology) partnership between Ecology Group and Queensland Trust for Nature we will be taking tally of our feathered friends. To coincide with BirdLife Australia's Annual Aussie backyard birdcount we are inviting you all to our big 2000ha backyard to learn about birds.
This year we are surveying QTFN's own Aroona Station - a flagship cattle and conservation enterprise snuggled up at the end of the Little Liverpool Range. The site is only accessible by invitation, and is a vital refuge for Brush-tail Rock Wallabies, Koalas, Glossy Black Cockatoo, threatened granite-belt plants like the Bailey's Cypress Pine and threatened semi-evergreen dry rainforest.
Come along in the daylight for activities led by experts ranging from guided bird surveys to threatened species research. Then pitch your tent and camp out under the beautiful open skies of the Little Liverpool Range by night, hanging out by the fire enjoying a fully catered farm dinner.
This event is open to everyone from expert to amateur. This is a family and LGBTQI+ friendly event.
