About this Event

Join this regular nature journaling get-together at Downfall Creek Bushland Centre on the last Friday afternoon of each month (except public holidays). These informal sessions are a great opportunity to take some time out, relax, and connect creatively with nature.

Bookings required via Eventbrite.

Cost: Free.

Age: These regular monthly Friday events are for adults.

Arrival time: Please arrive 5 minutes early to check-in with centre staff.

What to expect:

After some warm-ups and a short introduction for beginners, participants can take their nature journals out into the field for practice and inspiration. You might decide to explore and find your own quiet sit-spot, or journal at the picnic shelter. Staff will be on hand to help with flora and fauna I.D., share some journaling techniques, and chat about points of interest in the reserve. Everyone meets back at the shelter for a chat and farewell to finish up.
