Join us during National Bird Week for a festive Halloween walk during the golden glow of late afternoon along the coast in historic Waverley 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 coastal ecosystem.

With the haunting cough-like sounds of Wattlebirds ringing through the air, we’ll play birding bingo for prizes and you’ll hear a few spooky stories about this landmark place 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!
