1st group activity at Lake Monger (second part)

(Cont'd) The hightlight for the outing was helping to pick up litter while enjoying our beautiful nature along the way. The small clean up packs were kindly supplied by 'Keep Australia Beautiful WA/Department of Environment and Conservation'.

Each of the families was given hand outs including fact, information and activity sheets at the beginning. With the help of these information, we were delighted at discovering various birds such as Majestic Black Swan(Cygnus atratus), wood duck, Eurasian Coot, Purple Swamp Hen, Shelduck during our walk.

Look at these beautiful birds we found!

The kids had a wonderful trip too - Tekes liked his bike riding while others were excited in their prams and tricycle. We paused to rest and had free play at different nice sunshedded playgrounds.

Time passed so fast! When we got back to Dodds Street, we just realized that it had took us nearly 3 hours.

It is not only a great day meeting up with friends, a wonderful time being with families, but it also is a time for us to know our environment, our city better and to love it more. Especially for myself a new settler in Perth, that is something that I really treasure. I am looking forward to our next ourdoor group activity - and I am hoping to see more fresh faces joining us!
