News Items:
Our Clean-up Australia Day event went well with 28 participants collecting a trailer load of rubbish from around the park.
New bird sign installed: A beautiful new sign has just been installed near the stepping stones.This sign was funded by the Friends of Newport Lakes and gives information about the feeding habits of birds so that visitors will understand that feeding artificial food to the birds is not good for them. The sign was designed by Justin Goodall in consultation with FoNL and HBCC andwas installed by HBCC.
Night-life Project: FoNL received a grant from Hobson's Bay Community Fund to purchase a special camera to try to document what small nocturnal animals live in the park. This project has started and we hope for exciting results.
