Come along for a lovely sojourn at the beautiful and splendidly hidden Birdwing Butterfly Track in Goonellabah on Saturday mornings at 9am. This unique and relatively undiscovered piece of paradise includes walking track, creeks, bridges and of course plenty of stunning wildlife.
Pack some refreshments and bring your sensible walking gear for a charming day of exercise, nature spotting, socialising and frolicking. For more information, call 1800 633 637.
Lifeline Northern Rivers is offering Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) in Lismore on April 3 – 4. The two-day interactive course will involve participants in discussing suicide, reflecting on attitudes and beliefs about suicide and identifying strategies and resources for people at risk.
