Geocache Description:

Welcome to my latest series, designed to encourage you to visit the country town of Nagambie. Nagambie is located between Seymour and Shepparton along the Golburn Valley Highway. Come and visit for the weekend, there plenty of places to stay. The best weekend is the first Saturday of each month when you can also spend some time at the farmers market. There is a Festival in March called Nagambie On Water where all sorts of activities occur.

I was Paddling from Kirwins Bridge to Nagambie earlier this year (2012) and realised there were so many different types of birds in the general area, so I have decided to make it a bird themed series.

Dont forget to collect the number from the log sheet for the final cache of the series.



Some interesting Information about......White-faced Heron


The White-faced Heron, Egretta novaehollandiae, also known as the White-fronted Heron, and incorrectly as the Grey Heron, or Blue Crane, is a common bird throughout most of Australasia, including New Guinea, the islands of Torres Strait, Indonesia, New Zealand, the islands of the Subantarctic, and all but the driest areas of Australia. It is a relatively small heron, pale, slightly bluish-grey, with yellow legs and white facial markings. It can be found almost anywhere near shallow water, fresh or salt, and although it is prompt to depart the scene on long, slow-beating wings if disturbed, it will boldly raid suburban fish ponds.

All bird information and images have been sourced from Wikipedia.
