Family friendly event celebrates 25 year milestone for Mooloolah River Landcare
Mooloolah River Landcare (MRL) is inviting the Sunshine Coast community to celebrate its 25th anniversary at the annual Big Day Out on Saturday, June 14.
Held from 9am to 1pm at 2671 Steve Irwin Way, Glenview, the free, family-friendly event promises a day of fun, learning, and nature-based activities for all ages.
Festivities begin early with a guided bird walk at 8am led by local expert Rod Kerr. Pre-registration is essential, and participants are encouraged to bring binoculars, cameras, and appropriate outdoor wear.
The event will feature nature-based crafts, a treasure hunt, stick insect adoptions, plant sales, nursery demonstrations, weaving in the yarning circle, and the inspiring Girls in the Wild exhibit in the Seed Pod. A highlight is the Walk on the Wildside hydrophone experience, allowing visitors to hear underwater sounds until midday.
Community planting kicks off at 10am, followed by a Biocontrol Tour at 11am and a guided Walk on the Wildside tour at 11.30am.
A sausage sizzle and cold drinks will be available by donation from 10.30am, with a coffee van onsite throughout.
“This year’s event reflects our evolution,” said MRL’s Jessica Raintree. “We’re a community hub for environmental empowerment and education.”
Entry is free and all are welcome.
