Wake Up with the Birds - bookings now open!
The wattles are beginning to flower in Canberra's Nature Parks - a sure sign that spring is around the corner. The ANBG provides a fantastic habitat for many of Canberra’s birds, with water and nectar in abundance. Quite a few birds have already been sighted collecting nesting materials and it is marvellous to be in the Gardens early in the morning when the birds are active.
Join us for Wake up with the Birds, a 1½ hour guided early morning walk, to see many of our amazing birds. After the walk you are welcome to stay on for coffee or breakfast at Pollen, the Gardens Café (book at www.pollencafe.com.au).
