Sensory Sensation
Thursday 16 Apr, 1.30-3pm
You probably see lots of things when you go out in the bush, but do you also hear, smell, touch and taste the bush? We will use many of our senses to get up close and personal with the bush around us, and play games to help us discover animal senses that are totally different to our own.
Meet: Waterworks Reserve, Site 9, Waterworks Rd, Ridgeway
