The Friends of Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk currently meet on the first Wednesday of the month at the fantastic reserve; Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk reserve (formerly the Bellarine Basin) ![]()
Each month, the dedicated Friends of Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk volunteers undertake bush regeneration works through the removal of weeds, log bird, plant and fungi sightings on citizen science apps and monitor the regeneration of indigenous plants. It's a great way learn about indigenous and weedy plants, spot some cool birds or meet new people. And we always finish the session with morning tea!
The new entrance is ready and open! Please reference the map below. Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PevA2QRhpu9jRLYm8
Wear a hat, long pants and a long shirt. Gumboots are advised in autumn and winter. BYO water bottle. Morning tea (tea, coffee, biscuits) will be provided.

Join Jules Farquhar from Monash University to discover the fascinating Glossy Grass Skink, a rare wetland reptile found on the Bellarine. Learn why this animal matters, how to identify it, where it lives, the threats it faces, and why our local wetlands are so important for its survival. You'll also discover how you can contribute sightings through citizen science and help protect this unique species for the future.
This event is supported by the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority through the Victorian State Government's Port Phillip Bay Fund.
Jules's talk will launch the Bellarine Glossy Grass Skink monitoring project, a two-year survey, with volunteers undertaking monthly monitoring of sites for Glossy Grass Skinks around Swan Bay.
The Bellarine Glossy Grass Skink monitoring project is a collaboration between Bellarine Landcare Group, the Geelong Field Nuturalist Club, Swan Bay Environment Association and Bellarine Catchment Network, and supported through the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority.
