The Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre is holding their annual open day there to celebrate the day which signifies the time of year that migratory birds return to the area after breeding in the Northern Hemisphere.
Taking place from 12pm to 4pm on Saturday, October 12, the event will begin with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony by Bunurong Land Council representatives.
There will be a coffee cart onsite as well as a free barbeque and free activities, including children’s art workshops, music, citizen science, water bugs under the microscope and guided walks.
Environmental organisations and friends groups will also be there demonstrating conservation and protection techniques.
