 * Landcare and U3A walk together! **

The Tura Mirador Landcare group hosted U3A Sapphire Coast members on a guided tour of the Mundooi Walk. The 1.8 km nature walk, linking Tura Beach with Merimbula, has recently benefitted from a partnership between the Bega Valley Shire Council and Tura Mirador Landcare. This local group designed and installed interpretive signage along the walk and continue vegetation management in the area.

The walk was led by Andrew Morrison, Natural Assets Officer with the Bega Valley Shire Council, who shared his knowledge of the local ecology and the significance of the coastal reserve. U3A members appreciated the stunning coastal views; and the varied landscapes, including distinctive paperbark stands, coastal heath, remnant rainforest and saltmarsh during the easy, mostly level walk. The informative tour ended with a social chat over a delicious morning tea provided by Landcare.
