Wild Wonders at The Nook
+ Add to ItineraryDescription
Join us for a morning of connection, culture and curiosity in nature.
Start by hearing how Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people have long used nature’s resources for food, fibre, medicine and tools—drawing on generations of observation and knowledge.
Then it’s time to become a citizen scientist— learn to spot frogs, platypuses (if we're lucky!) and other wildlife using easy-to-use apps including iNaturalist, MW Frog Census and PlatypusSPOT, and go birdwatching with our binoculars (or BYO) and field guides.
Perfect for nature-loving grown ups and curious kids.
