The free Rabbit Sweep Treasure Hunt and Pageant are offered as family fun combined with education. They will be at the Point Richards Nature Reserve in Port Arlington on July 19, 11.00 am to 2.00 pm. The event is supported by a City of Greater Geelong grant. A big team of volunteers will make it happen!

There will be:

• a Treasure Hunt taking people along the paths of the Reserve, looking, learning and gathering bits with which to make a diarama to take home;
• a sausage sizzle to complement people's picnics, and
• a Pageant involving a number of indigenous animals getting together with the participants.

All will be welcome but should register if wanting to come: see https://www.rabbit-sweep.org/pageant-hunt
