Welcome Back the Birds

Join the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority for a full day of nature-inspired fun at the Eagle Point Foreshore and Hub .

Start your day with a cuppa and donut from Big Bears, then dive into free activities for all ages. Discover the tiny bugs that support the ecosystems, learn about Burrunan Dolphins, and try fishing. Meet real-life wildlife, get your face painted, decorate a threatened species and sing along to the Shorebird song with a live band.

Take a guided walk with Landcare to the bat house, hop on a boat to chat with experts and connect with staff from local organisations about waterway health, conservation and national parks.

Explore the incredible journeys of migratory birds, their lives, challenges and threats to survival. Enjoy lunch or dinner from food vans offering donuts, hot potatoes, pizza, and Mexican food.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about efforts to protect the Gippsland Lakes and support the birds that visit each year.
