Sunday 28th Field Trip😎🌳![]()
Grays Point to Audley loop track via Hacking river – ![]()
Meet 9:30am at carpark near Grays Point Public School, Grays Pt Road. Walk is approx 6 kms, starting with a steep descent on a bush track over rocks and tree roots, so bring poles if needed. The walk continues along the Hacking River to Audley. Lovely bush with lots of Banksias, Eucalypts and Angophoras, as well as native flowers and birds along the track. Picnic at Audley so bring along lunch, snacks and water. We return via the Honeymoon track with lovely views back down to the river. The return track up isn’t too steep.![]()

Oatley Streamwatch did water testing and litter audit at Dairy Creek ( Glen Road Oatley) today. 🧑🦱💧👴💧🧑🦳![]()
The water quality was ok and quite clear – having settled down after the recent heavy rain. There was lots of rubbish in the creek, about 300 pieces of foam, 6 face masks and hundreds of plastic scrap and coffee cups. ![]()

Birds on Farms – autumn 2024 survey. OFF members Geoff, Graham and Liz have just done the third bird survey on Vince Heffernan’s property, Moorlands. As expected, not as many birds were seen as on the spring ![]()
survey last year. Highlights included flocks of migrating Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, and at least three Peregrine Falcons – perhaps not unrelated? The plantings were flourishing; some that suffered during dry conditions last year had recovered and shot up above the grasses.![]()
Around the woolshed and shearers’ quarters, the ground was alive with small birds – Yellow-rumped Thornbills, Red-browed Finches, Superb Fairy-wrens, Southern Whitefaces, and House Sparrows – and overhead, Welcome Swallows were skimming back and forth.![]()

Oatley Calendar 2025![]()
To celebrate Oatley Flora and Fauna’s 70th Birthday and Oatley Historical Society’s 30th Birthday in 2025 – a special Oatley Calendar 2025 will be produced. It will showcase the wonderful local Flora and Fauna, spectacular scenery ( Georges River, sunsets etc….) and local historical features. We would love to see some fabulous photos submitted for publication in the 2025 Oatley Calendar. The chosen photos should be original and recent with a few sentences explaining when and where the photo was taken- the photographers will be acknowledged in the calendar. We are very fortunate to live in such a scenic area!![]()
