PLEASE NOTE - because of the COVID-19 virus, DRUMMOND HOUSE WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Drummond House, the home of the Toodyay Nats Club, is located at 108b Stirling Terrace (next to the Toodyay Bendigo Bank). This is shared
with the Toodyay Friends of the River Inc. and Toodyay Historical Society Inc. Drummond House and is open to the
public each Saturday between 10am and 12pm. This is a good time to drop in and meet our members, learn more about
Toodyay, find out what the groups are doing or just socialise.
The TNC is grateful for the assistance of Bendigo Bank and the Toodyay Op Shop with this new home
2020 CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Our 2020 Programme had some exciting ventures in store - check them outHow many Black-Cockatoos have you got at your your place (Carnaby or Red-tailed)? Wheatbelt NRM are asking community members to report their sightings using a simple smart device application. This will enable them to identify their nesting, foraging and roosting sites and work to protect them so that each year the mating pairs can return to breed. They visit the Wheatbelt between July and March, so they’re trying to get as many sightings recorded before they leave again.
