25.01.2022 If you had been planning on attending The Planting earlier this year, we reckon Bushtime is where you’ll want to close out 2020. There’ll be a generous collection of artisan workshops for all ages, Discovery Labs and Citizen Science projects, a General Store full of goodies, a few bars and food stalls and lashings of musical talent hitting the stage. On top of all this, the beautiful Lake Gkula will be open daily for lengthy swims, snorkelling alongside the native fish, or lounging on the beach with a good book. Select your preferred dates and grab your tickets here: https://woodfordia.org/bushtime/tickets/ #bushtime #woodfordia #thisisqueensland Visit Queensland, Australia

24.01.2022 I am constantly aware that I will never cease to be surprised and amazed by the incredible treasures of nature, yet to be seen, but today’s discovery, completely blew me away!!! On a Discover Woodfordia’s Lichens adventure, at Bushtime, one participant asked whether the lichen outgrowth seen in the pics below was a new growth. Then he touched it and it began to move!!!

19.01.2022 We're planning on announcing ticket launch times for The Planting 2021 in the next few weeks. Until then, we're reminiscing on Plantings gone - smiles catching in firelight, music drifting into the cool evening air and long chats beneath the stars. Fancy joining us out at Woodfordia from 30th April to 2nd May? Follow our event page here and invite your mates: http://bit.ly/TP-2021 : Somefx... #woodfordia #theplanting2021

18.01.2022 Our first science talk for Bushtime week 2, is at 10 am tomorrow at Forest Woodfordia. Leah Barclay is a sound artist, designer and researcher merging art, science and technology, who will discuss how digital acoustic recordings of the environment have the potential to address major gaps in our knowledge about ecosystems, using non-invasive technology to monitor species and document the temporal and spatial complexities of changing environments. If you have questions for Leah, please post below!

18.01.2022 Have you ever wondered how we can use drone technology to save the world? Imagine learning about species diversity, ecosystem health and predicting future vegetation patterns.

17.01.2022 Broadcaster, publicist, MC, writer, and DJ, Sarah Howells, joined us out at Woodfordia in December for an afternoon of music and chats with our Bushtime artists. What a pleasure it was to be in the presence of such an immense source of knowledge and experience in the Australian music industry. : Jelightly Photography #woodfordia #bushtime #sarahhowells #thisisqueensland Visit Queensland, Australia

16.01.2022 Soil biologists Sandra Tuszynska and Markus Kerkdijk are talking about the soil microbime tomorrow at Bushtime at Forest Woodfordia. They want to hear from you,... what questions do you have for them? What interests you about soil and the creatures that ensure it’s alive? Below are examples of a few soil superheroes: fungi, nematodes and protozoa (testate amoeba) which ensure nutrient cycling and thus plant nutrition and plant immunity... and a rapid way to reverse climate change via carbon sequestration...

02.01.2022 Ever heard of bryophytes? Of course you have - the tiny plants we call mosses, liverworts and hornworts. These ancient plants created our atmosphere yet hardly anyone knows anything about them, except for Andrew Franks. This is your chance to ask Andrew anything you want about bryophytes in the comments below as he presents some fascinating facts about them this week at Bushtime at the Forest Woodfordia venue :)
