Mt Rothwell Field Trip
Mount Rothwell Conservation and Research Centre has many of the animals that originally lived in the grasslands on Victoria's Volcanic Plains. The Eastern Barred Bandicoot, Eastern Quoll, Red-bellied Pademelon and the Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby are easy to see by spotlight.
We will take a torch-lit walking tour on Saturday August 16th.
Bookings are necessary and we will meet there at 5:45 pm for a 6pm start. Car pooling is a possibility.
The centre is located on Little River - Ripley Road near Little River, Melways Key map 11 ref C10 (marked as Earth Sanctuary in old editions).
