There was plenty to do at Bushcare's family fun day at Indigiscapes on September 10. Families got close up with a glossy-black cockatoo Calypto and a black headed python. Councillor for Division 7 Murray Elliott said that Bushcare’s Family Day Out recognised the important work of local Bushcare groups in the community. “It was a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the enormous contribution our many Bushcare volunteers make to the Redlands’ ecosystem, as they have done for more than two decades,” Cr Elliott said. Activities on the day included  weed weaving, bush tucker and environmental displays, bird walks, children’s nature activities, prizes and live music.
