YOUNG Erica made a new friend at the Altona North Community Library last Wednesday. The 11-year-old Point Cook resident met a bearded dragon when Andrew Wegener from Australian Wildlife Lectures hosted a presentation featuring stick insects, frogs, turtles and snakes. Several families flocked to the library for the native animal showcase, which was staged across three days as part of Hobsons Bay City Council’s school holidays program. 92430 Picture: EMILY LANE
