Have you ever wondered what those horse-shoe shaped jelly things are? If sharks lay eggs? What local plant species you can find in Portarlington? Which plants are weeds? These questions and more will be answered by Bellarine Catchment Network at this free, family-friendly beach and bush walk activity.
This activity is aimed at both children and adults so all are welcome. Adults need to accompany children under 12. There are limited spots available so please register.
