A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR GUIDE

My name is Jade and I have been birdwatching around the Easter Suburbs and beyond for over 6 years. For me bird watching is a great way for to connect with nature everyday. I feel grounded and more connected to my home when I can put names to the birds and other wildlife around me. And when you see a new bird, it's a lot of fun! Bird watching also opened me to all these opportunities to care for them; bush care, native gardening, and supporting wildlife corridors. This gave me purpose and fulfilment. I want to share this sense of wonder, connection and care, with my fellow nature lovers out there.  Please reach out to me if you have any questions - jade@comebirdwithme.com

GETTING THERE

• Public Transport: 381, 362 and 333 and 380 Buses all stop nearby.
• Walking: Coming from North or South, the coastal walk is a beautiful way to get there.
• Cycling: Another great option. 
• Parking: there is 2 hour street parking nearby. It can get very busy on the weekend, so I recommend walking, cycling or taking public transport if possibl.

FACILITIES

• Toilets: there is a toilet block in Marks Park. 
• Water: there is a bubbler in Marks Park to have a drink or fill your water bottle.
