Join us on French Island for a Park's ranger talk and walk that will further our understanding of the lives of bandicoots. We might be lucky enough to spot a few too!

On Friday 17th May ACF Mornington Group will meet at Stony Point Ferry Terminal at least 10 minutes prior to the 10am departure to French Island for the 15 minute crossing to French Island.

On arrival we are thrilled to be met by Parks Vic Ranger Sophie McCracken who will give us a 30 minute deep dive into everything bandicoot and answer any questions.

We will then take a 1 hour stroll along the coastal track towards Fairhaven Campsite looking for bandicoot and the abundant wildlife of the fox free haven that is French Island.

We will be retracing our steps in time to return on the 12:10pm ferry back to Stony Point. This is a "there and back" walk so there is no pressure to keep any pace. 

Be sure to bring a spirit of adventure, a water bottle, outdoor appropriate clothing and any snacks as there are no shops within walking distance.

As the ferry is weather dependant so we will send an email at about 7:30am on the day of the event if there is any risk of ferry cancellation. Return ferry cost is $31.00 for adults, $19.00 for seniors card holders, $14.20 for children or free for under 4 yo's.
