Question 1

Can I bring my children to the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Everyone is welcome! Note that there will be a couple of talks of ~45 min, but we'll try to make them as kid-friendly as possible if we have young ones in the audience.

Question 2

How long will the beach walk be?

Accepted Answer

It will be a short stroll on the beach, suitable for all fitness levels! We'll look for Hooded Plovers as a group, with zero stress and rush :)

Question 3

I can only come to the indoor session or beach walk, is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Register in Eventbrite as normal and let Sonia (sonia.sanchez@birdlife.org.au) know which part you'll be attending. Note however that the start time of the beach walk is approximate and I won't be able to repeat all the information provided in the talks!

Question 4

What food options will be provided?

Accepted Answer

We're still working on organising catering, but most likely there will be a selection of cold rolls and sandwiches and we'll try our best to cater all dietary requirements and food allergies. We'll also provide tea and coffee.

Question 5

Do I need any birding experience or my own binoculars?

Accepted Answer

No! No experience or binoculars are needed, but you're welcome to bring your own if you have a pair.

Question 6

Is there wheelchair access?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Portland Business Hub has wheelchair access. A double door opens into the arcade with the ramp. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee the beach we'll go to will have wheelchair access.
