If you are looking for something to do with your children these school holidays, look no further than this list! It is three events that are related to animals and these will be fun as well as educational. It will also get the children away from those indoor technology devices for several hours and out in the fresh air and bush!

[b]Bush Detectives[/b]
This program is for 5 to 12-year-olds and is run by ParksWide, City of Whitehorse, and here your child or children can learn to be a bush detective!

This will have children looking for the animals of the Blackburn Lake Sanctuary. They will be looking for signs that animals have been there before you. They will then attempt to track them down in order to catch a glimpse of the animal before they move on.



Children will need to use their observations skills to try and track down a few of the locals of this sanctuary.

They will meet at the visitor centre for registration and need to wear a hat, sunscreen and suitable enclosed footwear. It is also a good idea to bring along a water bottle as well. There are toilet facilities available should they be required.

It will be held on Monday 21st January, from 10.00 am to 12 noon. It will be on at the Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, visitor information centre, 95 Central Road, Blackburn.

Please note the following:
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult.
  • If there is a total fire ban that day, the event will be cancelled. Please check this site the evening before.

  • The event is free, however, you need to register #tickets ">here.
