During Water Week, Wonga Wetlands and The Aquatic Environment Education Centre hosted a number of groups involved in a variety of activities. The first of these was an evening Walk and Talk where visitors were introduced to Wonga and then went for a walk out to the Lagoons at dusk to observe and listen to the activities of some of the birds and frogs. The most active of these (on a sound scale!!) was Peron’s Tree Frog, a common species, but rarely heard during the day.

The following day was the “Pram Walk” where a group of mothers with babes in prams went for a guided walk through some of the wetlands, to observe and perhaps learn a little more about the flora and fauna of Wonga Wetlands.

Open Day 2006 began with a Wiradjuri welcome from Nancy Rooke and an official opening by Deputy Mayor, Kevan Porter. From then on around 400 visitors were involved in Talks, Tours, a Photographic Competition, a Family Ecological Treasure Hunt, displays and the catering of the WIRES organisation. The Wonga Wetlands Community Advisory Committee wish to thank all visitors for their interest, competition entrants and judges for their enthusiasm, sponsors for their generosity and support. See you next year !!!!
