Lake Corangamite

On the 10th September 2023, Leon Bren, with support from club members Andy and Margaret, led members of FNCB on a field trip exploring the eastern side of Lake Corangamite, with stops at Woady Yallock Bridge, Cundare Pool, the lake shore, and Red Rock.

Perhaps none of the active iNat users in the club attended the field trip? So far no observations* have been recorded for the day. So instead, here is a link to all the observations made by members of this project in the area covered by the trip (Northern ward of Colac Otway Shire) at any time in the past:
Observations.

*Since writing this, some observations from the field trip have been uploaded. However they do not all appear in the query above. It seems some were just over the municipal boundary, in Corangamite Shire instead of Colac Otway. Here is the link to see the observations made in either Shire on the day: Click here.

Bill Elder

Members will be saddened to learn that Bill Elder, who initiated this iNaturalist project, passed away earlier this week.

Bill started the project at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic to enable members of the Field Naturalists Club of Ballarat to keep in touch with each other and share our sightings of the natural world while we could not meet in person.

His leadership and enthusiasm will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
