60 Bruny Island - with Ella
Adventure to an island in southern Australia that is home to rare birds.
This episode is about the Bruny Island Bird Festival, the Forty-spotted Pardalote and the Swift Parrot.
Ella Roles grew up camping and bird watching with her dad, and didn't realise how much she was absorbing. When she studied outdoor education at Latrobe University, she started to realise that she could turn guiding and birdwatching into a career! Ella has taken people on walks and hikes all across Victoria and Tasmania, and has worked predominantly as a hiking guide in Freycinet National Park in Tasmania. She loves to hike, mountain bike, slackline and climb - activities that are in environments where she gets to see lots of birds! Ella is the Festival Coordinator for the 2024 Bruny Island Bird Festival and wants to tell you all about it.
