Walkabouts are generally held once a month – check the Club’s calendar for dates. These are held in a variety of locations, generally on a Saturday or Sunday around the third weekend of the month. These walkabouts are to encourage members to get out and about with their cameras. Technical help is available from the more experienced members. Members are encouraged to attend to extend their photography knowledge and experience. Sometimes we stop for lunch and/or coffee depending on the area we are visiting.
Upcoming Walkabouts
- Lambassa Mansion, Caulfield North: Sunday 15 September 2024; Time 10.15am for 10.30am Entry
- Lambley Gardens Ascot: Sunday 20 October; Time TBA
Walkabouts for 2025 are being thought about! This may include a weekend away to Warrnambool with stops along the Great Ocean Road, and a sea outing to check out the Dolphins, Seals and Bird life! Some bird outings are likely in the mix as well. Ideas are being formulated so if you are interested, or have some ideas on what you want to see and go to, please let us know! We are always interested in new locations, subjects and ideas.
