A big weekend for local wildlife in Killarney!

Join us for a bumper citizen-science weekend celebrating two of our region’s most special species — the Glossy Black-Cockatoo and the platypus.

📅 Saturday 21 March – Glossy Black-Cockatoo Workshop (2pm)

Learn about these remarkable birds and how our community can help protect them. The workshop will cover:

• Glossy Black-Cockatoo habits

• How to identify feeding and breeding sites

• Citizen-science surveys

• Nest-site monitoring to support conservation

📅 Sunday 22 March – Platypus Watch (6:30–8:00am)

Start the morning beside the Upper Condamine helping with our community platypus survey, contributing to research on the secret lives of these unique animals — followed by breakfast with fellow volunteers. 

Both events are part of partnerships established by Killarney Bushcare to protect native wildlife.

Whether you’re a long-time member or simply curious about the wildlife around us, everyone is welcome.

📌 See the flyers below for details and registration information.

Come along, learn something new, and help care for the species that make our region so special.
