Sydney Nature This Week

What’s out in Sydney’s nature this week, and the best day to go.

The cicadas starting up, the waratahs in flower, the whales passing the headlands.

In each one

What’s out: the birds, insects, flowers and fungi in season this week, and what they’re up to.
Where and when to go: a place to see them, and the best day for it.
Tides, swell and weather: so you pick the right morning for the rock pools or the walk.
The sky: the moon, and anything worth stepping outside for after dark.
The long view: how the week fits into deep time.

Who writes it

I’m Ben McCarthy, in Sydney. Each week starts from the sightings the people of Greater Sydney share on iNaturalist, the tide tables and the sky. More about me.

The whole year is on one sheet, too: the Sydney Nature Seasons poster.
