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
How 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.
