Pangarinda Botanical Park Wellington

This garden is a link in a chain of endeavour to conserve Australia's threatened flora. They prioritize species from the highly modified drier agricultural regions of southern mainland Australia.

When visiting, make time to walk the marked walkway, it will take walkers from the information bay through plants of WA into the Olympic 2000 plantings of local vegetation.

When the Tailem Bend School Pupils started planting in 2000 there were only weeds. The walk takes you through a bush land of favourite places for many of our bird life.

Watch out for the small quails that scoot across from one bush to another. Also, the noisy babblers, flying low from one bough to another.

Note: the danger calls from the New Holland Honey eaters when birds of prey fly past.

We will be having morning tea at the Hall in Wellington East and lunch at Tailem Bend.

If you feel you’d like to come to this event, please be at the bottom of Colman Terrace at 9.15 for a 9.30 start.

The weather for Sunday is going to be Sunny and a top of 28 degrees. So, it is a perfect day for an outdoor event.,
