Join the Gardens of Stone Alliance for a morning exploring the history, ecology and future of the Sydney drinking water catchment.
We’ll begin with a guided walk at Lake Wallace — where Charles Darwin first recorded seeing platypus in 1836 — followed by a demonstration of community water quality testing and discussion of the growing pressures facing local waterways from coal mining and development.
We’ll then gather at the Wallerawang Community and Sports Club for morning tea and a short forum on protecting the Gardens of Stone and strengthening community action for clean water and catchment protection.
The event is open to both new and existing supporters. We’ll also hear from long-time Lithgow Environment Group volunteers Julie Favell and Chris Jonkers, whose decades of local conservation work have helped protect this remarkable region.
To RSVP, contact Steph at campaigner@gardensofstone.org.au
Further details, including meeting location and what to bring, will be provided closer to the day.
