As a result of the merger of Bird Observation and Conservation Australia (BOCA) and Birds Australia (BA) into BirdLife Australia in 2011, the Townsville Region Bird Observers Club (TRBOC) is now a branch of that new organisation and is called BirdLife Townsville.
The club has an membership of about 160, some of whom have received national recognition for their work in bird conservation. We hold Club meetings each month, usually with an interesting guest speaker. We conduct regular surveys of important birding sites and most months will arrange club outings to one of the many interesting locations in the region (see Activities page). In addition to our bird watching activities, we have an active photography, social event groups and we provide educational support to local schools and participate in local conservation issues.
Guests and non-members are welcome to attend a couple of our outings but as a matter of courtesy and fairness we ask you to join BirdLife Australia (our Club's parent body) after a maximum of three outings. All events are organised by volunteers who donate their time willingly in support of BirdLife Australia's aims.
