Time: Meet at 8.30 am at the Neil Street carpark to car pool, or 9.00 am at the property.

Where: Cawdor area, on a private property 15-20 minutes north of Harlaxton. 

Directions: If you're not a Toowoomba Field Naturalists Club member, please contact us, toowoombafieldnaturalists@gmail.com, for directions.

Activities: We will meet near the sheds at 9.00 am where there are toilet facilities. Options for activities will be discussed here.

This property has been lovingly nurtured by one of our members for more than 30 years. It is  310 acres with five dams, pasture, remnant dry rainforest and a maturing hoop pine plantation. There are well-maintained tracks for most vehicles, easy walking and an excellent gathering area for morning tea and lunch near the largest dam where there are trees, a large table, two fire pits – and a bench swing. 

This outing promises to be a very relaxing one, close to Toowoomba, in a particularly attractive environment. Botanists, birdwatchers and insect observers will all find something of interest .

What to Bring: the usual, including chair, food, camera, notebook and pen for observations.
