Join us during National Bird Week for a festive morning Halloween walk through Sydney’s largest green space, historic Rookwood Cemetery. We’ll travel back in time in our small group as we walk amongst Victorian sculptures, mausoleums and gravesites all while observing the incredible birdlife of this large green ecosystem.

Watched closely by Ravens perched on statues, we’ll play birding bingo for prizes and you’ll hear a few spooky stories about the Southern Hemisphere’s largest cemetery plus we’ll submit our birdwatching findings to be counted in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. This walk is recommended for beginners or anyone who wants to have a little Halloween fun!
