Monthly Working Bees

Our Bushcare working bees are in the on every third Sunday morning of the month and last for 2 hours. We post more details, such as times and where to meet up, on our Facebook page about a week before each event.

Wear closed in shoes, a hat, a long sleeved shirt and gloves. We are usually involved in weeding or planting and afterwards we are rewarded with a morning tea which is a great opportunity to chat with the other volunteers.

We have volunteers who have been coming for many years and others who are brand new. You don't need to have any prior knowledge of Bushcare as there is a wealth of knowledge there.

Guided Bushwalks

We host two guided morning walks in the reserve every Month. They start around 8am but times can vary depending on the season. We can't guarantee koala sightings but we have some expert spotters and are seldom dissapointed

Check Facebook for event details.

On the 2nd Sunday we have Pats walk which starts from the main gate of the Children's Playground and lasts for 2 hours.

On 4th Sunday we have Peters walk which starts from The Jones Rd entrance to the reserve (near the junction with Kildare St) and lasts for 1 hour.

They are easy slow walks so we have lots of opportunity to lookout for local flora and fauna. We keep to the graded paths although we will encounter some gradients and steps (it's a hill). See map below for starting point.

Coming Soon

Whites Hill Koala Count 2025

When: Sunday 25th May 2025 0800-1000

On 8th October 2023 we held a ‘Koala Count’ event in Whites Hill Reserve.

It was hugely successful enjoyed by over 60 participants of all ages and we spotted 45 koalas.

This year it will be even bigger. We have joined forces with researchers from the University of Qld and our koala count will consist of an early morning drone survey followed by a physical count by our volunteers.

We are hoping our survey can reveal not only numbers but also give us an indication of the health of our local koala population.

Registration will open about a month out from the event so keep an eye on our Facebook page if you don’t want to miss out this time
