For our outing over this long weekend in June COG has booked the two duplex cottages associated with the lighthouse at Green Cape. Peter Fullagar (6161 4808) will be leading, and in mid June he expects to see a mix of sea birds as well as whales close to shore (depending on the weather). In the nearby heath there are some specials such as the Ground Parrot and the Tawny-crowned Honeyeater, and there is likely to be a range of birds in the woodlands, also close by.
One cottage has been booked for Thursday to Monday, and the other from Friday to Monday. The cottages each hold a maximum of 6 people, consisting of separate rooms, the master bedroom with a queen size bed, one with two single beds and a double sofa bed in the family/lounge room. There will also be the opportunity to camp at Bittangabee Bay, only 8 km away.
The costs per person are $32 per night including the COG admin fee. Information for participants including final costs was made available to registered participants at/after the May COG meeting. Full payment is due by the June COG meeting.
At the time of going to print there was still one place available as it has been difficult to achieve the right female/male/couple gender balance for the double sofa bed. This is for one male from Thursday to Monday sharing the sofa with one person to sleep on a camp stretcher or similar. Another possibility is a single male for Saturday and Sunday evenings only. If you are interested please contact asap Jack Holland (6288 7840 AH or by E-mail on jack.holland@deh.gov.au ).
