SundayMay 31 2026Introduction to Duckling Care presented by Leonie WeaverWebsite
Why does our wildlife need your help?
Our wildlife populations face many dangers as their habitat decreases and they are forced to live closer to us. The biggest dangers are cats, dogs, cars, poisons and loss of native habitat. When concerned members of the public find wildlife that is sick, injured or orphaned, they look to vets and wildlife volunteers to step in and help. In a future of climate change, wildlife carers and rescuers will be more important than ever.
Introduction to Duckling Care Course Outline Presented by Leonie Weaver
Please bring pen and paper to take your own notes. A manual hand-out will hopefully be available on the day.
Objective: The attendee will develop an understanding about the handling and examination, housing of orphaned ducklings. Greater detail on how to feed orphaned ducklings from arrival to fledging and release will be covered.
Course will run from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm with afternoon tea included.
09:45am Registration.

Film Screening & Discussion on West Papua: Watch and Discuss "Pig Feast" with Dandhy LaksonoWebsite
PPIA South Australia, with IndoPeduli Adelaide, KAGAMA, and the Adelaide Papuan Community (APC), will co-host “Pesta Babi (Pig Feast): Colonisation In Our Time” by Dandhy Laksono & Cypri Paju Dale.
Filmed discreetly under Indonesian military surveillance, this powerful 90-minute documentary exposes an ongoing ecocide in South Papua—the region closest to Australia. Filmmakers uncover the mass deforestation of 2.5 million hectares of ancestral land for corporate palm oil, sugar, and rice projects, displacing thousands of Indigenous people.
With foreign journalists banned and UN investigators blocked by the Indonesian government, this film breaks decades of media silence to reveal the brutal reality of West Papua’s struggle for land and independence.
Admission is free, and we invite you to stay after the screening for a deeper discussion on this ongoing issue in Indonesia, directly with the filmmakers involved.
