The Barwon River rises in the Otway Ranges and flows close to the townships of Forrest, Birregurra, Winchelsea and Inverleigh, before flowing through to Geelong. Waterbugs provide a great indication of overall waterway health.

Rain, hail or shine the event will take place, so make sure to wear weather appropriate footwear and bring your gumboots if you have them.

This event is free, but spaces are limited. Visit https://ccma.vic.gov.au/event/barwon-waterbug-discovery/ to register today!
