Our community celebration of birdlife and nature is now in its 7th anniversary and we are proud of how it has become such a joyful and well loved Australian birding event.
Please take time to read through the program and absorb all the fantastic walks, lectures, workshops and events that will be part of the Festival. We have done our very best to allow you to be able to attend a very diverse selection of activities over the 3 days, however you may have to plan carefully to fit in everything you wish to do.
