Come and visit the Trust for Nature reserve, Wanderslore Sanctuary, on the Friend’s annual Open Day, Sunday 22 October, from 10am to 3pm.
This beautiful 10-hectare sanctuary nestled behind the Rail Trail between Launching Place and Yarra Junction represents significant remnant bushland. The Helmeted Honeyeater has been sighted here, and recently, a Koala, a pair of Powerful Owls, and a Lyrebird.
There will be guided and self-guided tours of the Sanctuary, displays of photographs of Wanderslore, history information, a nature table, tea and coffee, sausage sizzle, and raffle. Additionally, the Trust for Nature, who manage the separate cottage precinct, will be in attendance for a chat, with their own displays at the Cottage.
Entry to Wanderslore, located at 1280 Warburton Highway, Launching Place, is from the Warburton Rail Trail. Turn off the Highway beside the former Launching Place General Store, next to the Home Hotel.
Limited parking is available behind the General Store. Follow the signs to enter the Sanctuary.
