Wings over the World
Bribie Island is an internationally significant end point for one of the world’s great bird migrations, connecting our community directly with the Arctic, and with many Asian countries on the way.
Every year, tens of thousands of endangered migratory shorebirds fly over 10,000km from Russia and Alaska to the shores of Moreton Bay. A significant portion of this precious population utilises the tidal flats of Pumicestone Passage to feed, and then rest and recuperate at our very own Kakadu Beach Roost.
Drop in to the Kakadu Beach Roost around high tide to learn from knowledgeable volunteers about these amazing avian travelers, and what you can do to protect them. Using spotting scopes and binoculars, experts will help you get to know species such as godwits, knots, sandpipers, stints and plovers – and maybe even the Critically Endangered Far-eastern Curlew.
What to Bring
Hat and sun protection, water, binoculars (if you have them)
