Under the Red Traffic Light rules, events are now only allowed if Vaccine Passes are used, with up to 100 people. We have made the decision to go ahead with the planned event on Saturday, however are now requiring everyone that joins us to present their Vaccine Pass on arrival. Face coverings are encouraged, however not required. Please register to secure your spot, we might have to turn people away on the day if the limit is reached.  

Parking will be available at the northern end of the wetlands (follow signs and flags on the day). As the parking bays are very small, a neighbouring landowner has agreed to open up a paddock so everyone can park safely.
