Marvellous mud - seed bomb workshop for kids
2026-03-28 14:00 - 15:30 | Wangaratta Community Garden, 36 Wills Street, Wangaratta, 3677
Is soil actually alive? Can we make new soil? And what does it take to keep it healthy and thriving?
Join us for a fun, hands‑on workshop where we’ll dig into the incredible living world beneath our feet. Kids will learn how soil forms, why it’s full of life, and what makes it so important for healthy plants and ecosystems. Through interactive activities, we’ll explore how to build, care for, and protect soil, whether in a backyard garden, a pot on the balcony, or out in nature.
Participants will also get creative and make their own seed bombs to take home, helping them put their new soil knowledge into action.
Suitable for ages 5–18. Note, children must be supervised by their own parent or guardian at all times.

Long-range Hawkweed Searching on the Bogong High Plains
2026-03-30 08:00 - 2026-04-01 17:00 | Check the event listing for venue details, Australia
Hi everyone,Following our week-long grid surveys during the summer, we are planning on running a 3 day, long-range survey for the state-prohibited Hawkweed.

Dates: 30th of March to the 1st of April.Recommended arrival on Sunday afternoon/evening (29th)Monday: 8:30am Meeting/Briefing.Aim to start the survey at 9am each day, with a flexible finish time around 3pm.Departure: Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning (2nd).At this stage, the plan is to base camp at Pretty Valley due to its proximity to areas of Mouse-Ear Hawkweed and also the potential to explore up into areas of Rocky Knobs for King Devil and Orange Hawkweed.Long-range surveys are a little different to the intensive line searches of 1-hectare grids that volunteers usually assist with. Long-range searches have been conducted in the past to explore and search across larger areas of the landscape, around and beyond where computer modelling has placed formal grids.Long-range surveys are often carried out over several kilometres, through a variety of terrain that may at times be steep, densely vegetated and rocky, requiring a good level of fitness and health.It’s important to note that this is a campout, not an accommodation session. If it’s too wet and rainy, we may have to decide against running the session.Please email: hawkweederadication.volunteer@gmail.com for signup and additional information.

Border Bushwalking Club - Mt Feathertop via the Razorback
2026-04-01 07:00 - 17:00 | Check the event listing for venue details, Australia
I’m having another go at a midweek walk along the Razorback after we rerouted due to white out conditions last time. This is before school holidays so we should avoid those crowds too.
This is an iconic walk and therefore very popular. I’m hoping to avoid the crowds by doing it on a Wednesday.
The Razorback is the most popular way to get to Mt Feathertop. The walk is a day of up and down with a steep climb to the final ascent but on a clear day it is well worth the effort. The views from the top are stunning.
With 23kms and 900m height gain we will have an early start and a long day. You may even decide to stay overnight somewhere closer to the walk start near Mt Hotham. Please discuss these options with me as you ring to book.
