Town on the river.
Visits
- 2025-12-05: We went back into Wangaratta in an attempt to find some owls next to the river. We tried in one spot, but we were a bit early to find anything. Later, we went to another spot further upriver. There was a band playing, however, making it difficult to find any birds. So, we went over to the first spot again where we waited for the sunset. Sunset came, but there was no sign of any owl.
