This is an all-day trip of medium difficulty, in the Crookwell district. The first stop will be Grabben Gullen Travelling Stock Reserve, a thicket of small eucalypts with sightings of Dollarbird. The next stop will be the Narrawa Hall with views over the rolling countryside and possible raptor sightings. There is a TSR on the other side of the road with a low bird count.

Narrawa Bridge TSR on the Lachlan River has a riverside walk, uneven in parts with wombat holes and tussocks to look out for. We will follow the fenceline up a steepish hill in open woodland. Species recorded here include: Peaceful Dove, Eastern Yellow Robin, Rainbow Bee-eater, Azure Kingfisher, White-bellied Sea Eagle and Striped Honeyeater.

Narrawa Stockpile follows the curve of Narrawa Creek. It is a riverine woodland with 70 species on record including Eastern Shrike-tit, Restless Flycatcher and Diamond Firetail. We will lunch at Barbour Park in Gunning on the way back.

Meeting time and place: Victoria St. carpark by Sutton Primary School at 8.00 am for carpooling. End time about 3pm. Bring morning tea and lunch, sturdy shoes, hat, sunscreen, water and walking poles optional.
