Park appreciation walk - Sunday 18 May 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm

Join us for a 'Park Appreciation Walk'. Would you like to join in a walk with others to enjoy the park? To exercise, to get some fresh air, to enjoy the animals, insets and wildflowers, to meet others from the local community? These regular walks will be led by a member of the Advisory Committee, who will encourage everyone on the walk to share what parts of the Sanctuary they appreciate or have noticed. The walk will include a lap of the Lake. There will be more walks to follow so keep an eye on this page!

The Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is a special place that sits at the origins of the Kooyong Koot tributary.

This Country, its creatures, lands, skies and waterways, has been continuously loved and cared for by the Wurundjeri peoples for over 60,000 years. We hope to walk with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung in caring for this place.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung as the First Peoples of this area and pay our respects to their spirits, ancestors and elders.
