Checking nest boxes for Squirrel Gliders and Sugar Gliders. This is part of the Regent Honeyeater Project to restore box-ironbark habitat in the Lurg Hills near Benalla.

We will depart early Saturday morning and meet up with all the other volunteers in Benalla. We will spend two days walking around finding nestboxes and checking for Sugar Gliders and Squirrel Gliders. This is a good chance to practice navigation and to see native Australian wildlife. There is also a chance we may come across the rare Brush-tailed Phascogale in its stringybark nest.

We will be staying in the Benalla Scout Hall, mattresses are provided so just bring a sleeping bag and pillow, or you can camp outside if you prefer. You will need to have water and lunches for both days as we will be somewhere out in the bush, and also food and drinks for the communal BBQ on saturday night at the Old Lurg School.

Should be back in Melbourne early Sunday evening.
