21.01.2022 Just a little post to apologise to anyone who turned up for the sugar glider spotlighting..... due to the weather conditions and the lack of numbers at the conclusion of the event Parks Vic and the friends group decided to postpone the night walk. We do apologise for any inconvenience this has caused as I know many of you had planned your night around it. We apologise for not making this known to you. We are all volunteers and try or best to tune events like these around our own families and other commitment. We hope to get out spotlighting really soon!
