Our guest speaker is local photographer Andrew Thornton who will be sharing some interesting insights on local flora and fauna:
“Andrew is originally from the north east of Victoria (Mt Beauty), Andrew moved to Melbourne in the late 1970s to find work in the financial services sector.
Now retired, he has lived in Williamstown for the last 25 years and has a keen interest in endemic flora and fauna, particularly native saltmarsh and grasslands. His other interests include photography, birding, astronomy, boating and voluntary conservation work.
Andrew is also active with the Friends of the Williamstown Wetlands, Friends of the Lower Kororoit Creek and he does some informal volunteering with other friends group in the LGA. It’s not unusual to find him with binoculars and camera wandering around the parks and coastal areas of Hobsons Bay.”
