Other Information:
Smith Brook banding station is situated in a
conservation reserve controlled by the Department of Environment &
Conservation. This area was first used by Dick and Molly Brown from the 70s to
90s. Ian and Eleanor Rowley worked on the Red-winged Fairy-wrens in 80s - 90s
and the project was taken over by the Western Banders Association in 1999.
Warren Grange Bed & Breakfast
is just 1.5 km from the banding site. As it is a farm, members are able to camp
there, while others choose to use the rooms available.
