On this field trip we’ll be exploring the Murrumbidgee Valley, in particular Tharwa Sandwash and then Angle Crossing. There’s lots to see. Angle Crossing is well known for Wedge-tailed Eagles as well as Rainbow Bee-eaters.

Parking is limited at Angle Crossing so we’ll meet in Tharwa and carpool from there. Our meeting point will be the parking area by the loos just on the left as you cross over the bridge into Tharwa. We’ll start at 7.30 to beat the heat.

Getting over Angle Crossing requires driving through shallow water. I’ll check out the crossing in advance and if the water is too high, our fall-back option will be to go Namadgi Visitor Centre after the Sandwash and walk the grounds of the centre and the foothills of the Mount Tennent Track.

Wear sensible shoes and bring your morning tea.
