Djilba Gems: From Flowers to Flying Kangaroos with Dr Simon Cherriman

As rain systems become less frequent, the landscape brightens both with finer weather and the variety of vibrant wildflowers (especially wattles Acacia species) that are now blooming. Kangaroo joeys start emerging from pouches, birds of prey including eagles, kites and falcons are nesting, and the occasional reptile may be seen basking in patches of sun. Join local wildlife ecologist Simon Cherriman for the fourth in this series of environmental information sessions around the Six Seasons.
