Navigating the Suburbs: A Wildlife Perspective

What would your map of the City look like if you were a bobtail skink, a quenda or a fairy-wren?

This family-friendly event invites curious minds of all ages to see the suburbs from a wildlife perspective. While black-cockatoos and ringneck parrots revisit native trees when the seeds are ripe, every species navigates the landscape in its own way.

Join ecologists Mike and Mandy Bamford to discover how wildlife maps the suburbs, what features matter most to different animals, and how we can create backyards and parks that help native species thrive. 

This event is part of Melville Storylines Festival 2026. To view the full program, visit melvillecity.com.au/storylines
