Why not take a free guided walk through the spectacular wildflowers and natural environment surrounding the Hawks Nest area.

Hire a kayak from Lazy Paddles Kayaking on the Tea Gardens waterfront.

Listen to a talk on local koalas and birdlife.

Community activities will centre around the Hawks Nest Community Hall on Saturday and Walk on the Wildside bushwalks will depart from this locality as well.
