Bendigo Fish Talks
April 11 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEST
OzFish is teaming up with the Victorian Fishing Authority (VFA) to host an evening of fish talks in Bendigo!
Join us to hear from local experts and practitioners undertaking fish habitat restoration in local waterways, and find out how you can get involved in securing the future of fishing.
The roadshow is a free community event that aims to raise awareness about habitat restoration and freshwater fish in the Murray Darling Basin.
This event is an ongoing commitment from Victorian Fisheries Authority and OzFish to run a series of Fish Talks, set to travel through northern Victoria over the next year, with the next event marked for Swan Hill in late 2025.

Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm AEST
