SUMMARY:Meet Wildlife Neighbours
DESCRIPTION:Meet native animals at the Boondall Wetlands Environment Centre this September 2026.

A wildlife expert will lead a hands-on session in nature\, giving visitors the chance to meet some of Brisbane’s most iconic animals and learn what makes them special\, how they live\, and the role they play in local ecosystems. \nLearning more about native species can help people make simple changes\, like planting native vegetation or keeping pets indoors at night\, that protect Brisbane’s wildlife and help it thrive. \nVisitors should arrive at least 10 minutes early to check in at the centre\, and children must be with an adult at all times. As parts of the session may be outdoors\, it’s a good idea to wear a hat\, sun-safe clothing and fully enclosed shoes\, and bring sunscreen and insect repellent.

Bookings are required via Eventbrite\, with a maximum of 5 tickets per booking and 1 adult for every 4 children. Everyone attending\, adults and kids\, needs a ticket. Please cancel via Eventbrite if plans change\, as spots are limited and late arrivals may be given up to others waiting. \nNote: the event depends on weather and conditions on the day and may be cancelled if needed. \nPlan your visit\nWhen: Friday 25th September\, 11:00am – 11:45am \nWhere: Boondall Wetlands Environment Centre\, 31 Paperbark Drive (entry via Stanworth Rd)\, Boondall 4034 \nMore information and how to register here
