Australia is home to an incredible variety of native species. Whether they are snuggly, spiky or downright scary, we still have so much to learn about our unique Australian fauna.
This free event is brought to you by the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales with the generous support of the Rose of Australia. Hear from the experts, meet up with some like-minded people and discuss how we can work together to conserve and manage Australian biodiversity.
Wildlife talks take place on the 3rd Monday of each month, starting at 6:00 pm in the upstairs bar of the Rose of Australia (1 Swanston Street, Erskineville). Talks usually run for an hour with time afterwards for questions. Drinks and food can be purchased from the bar and can be consumed during the talk/discussion.
