Join guest presenters Paul Revie (Qld Glider Network), Jessica Lovegrove-Walsh (Friends of Nerang National Park), as well as the crew from Geckoes Wildlife Presentations for a FREE half-day educational glider workshop and optional nighttime spotlighting at Crows Nest, near Toowoomba.
Enjoy a light lunch and dinner while you learn more about the region’s glorious gliding mammals, with a particular focus on the endangered southern and central greater glider (Petauroides volans) and the vulnerable yellow-bellied glider (Petaurus australis) and even take in a cultural dance performance.

- thrill to a traditional dance performance
- learn all about the preferred habitats, habits, and lifestyles of Queensland’s largest gliding marsupials and what makes them so hollow-dependent and at risk of extinction
