Sigh
When will there be a beginners workshop in Brisbane.
Sorry for my delayed response but life has been hectic.
The BirdLife Australia branch that includes Brisbane is the Southern Queensland branch.
I have today posted in the General section that Warbler the quarterly e-newsletter is now available on the web.
