Get ready for an afternoon of exploring, discovering, and hands‑on nature fun! Join us for a Twilight Nature Hunt Bingo Walk at beautiful Purga Nature Reserve — the perfect adventure for curious minds of all ages. As the day begins to cool and wildlife becomes more active, you’ll set off with your Nature Bingo card, searching for clues hidden in the bush: interesting leaves, tracks, feathers, seed pods, textures, patterns, colours, and other natural treasures. Along the way, we’ll stop to chat about what you’ve found — what plant or animal it came from, how it fits into the ecosystem, and why these natural elements are important to the reserve’s habitat. It’s a fun, interactive way to learn about the environment while soaking in the peaceful twilight bushland.

The next school holiday sessions are open for bookings. Learn wonderful new facts about the animals and meet new furry and feathered friends on this special walking tour. You may have walked through the centre a hundred times , but have you ever seen it like this?

Meet others in your community, enjoy hands-on activities, and make your own Scroggins for morning tea. Perfect for families or adults looking for a fun, interactive day in nature!
