The seasonal Yea Wetlands are situated on 32 ha of crown land floodplain between two branches of the unregulated Yea River. The Northern Wetlands have been progressively developed over the past 12 years and now boast a 30m cable suspension bridge, 2.5 km of walking track, raised walkways, bird hides, interpretive signs, picnic tables and a free electric BBQ. While the Committee has a long term vis

ion to develop and link the Southern Wetlands with the 100+km Goulburn River High Country Rail Trail it is currently focusing on w**d management and the recently opened$1.9m Environmental Interpretive / Visitor Information Centre. The Centre was an initiative of the Yea Wetlands Committee with funding being provided by the Yea Wetlands Trust, and State Government (Melbourne Water, Office of Water (DSE) and Regional Development Victoria).

As the weather warms up the residents are stirring. Nothing to be alarmed about. There's room for everyone. Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus)

The Brown Goshawk (Accipiter fasciatus) was very vocal yesterday evening - probably calling out for a mate or reminding everyone of the Wetlands AGM tonight.

White-throated Treecreeper (Cormobates leucophaea). Check out the feet. Perfect for scaling vertical tree trunks. The orange cheek patch indicates a female bird. For more info: https://focusonfauna.com/2017/06/12/so-thats-how-it-does-it/

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped over the Garden Expo weekend. We sold 6 large containers of soup and 39 dozen scones. We couldn't do it without the support of the customers, so thanks everyone who came into the kiosk and bought our food.

As a Rotary event, the Garden Expo was visited by our District 9790 Governor Emma Davies and together with Community Leader Sharon Fox, dropped into the Wetlands kitchen to help. Thanks Emma and Sharon for your support. Much appreciated.

This Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September, the Rotary Club of Yea has their annual Garden Expo at the Yea Saleyards from 9am to 3pm.

Everyone in the kiosk is a volunteer and monies raised will support w**d management in the Yea Wetlands.

Come find us for a sit down in a warm spot and help support the Yea Wetlands. Cash or card options available.
