A Letter to Michelle

A Letter to Michelle

Urban Wildlife Gardens member Wave O’Connor sent in this letter with images of the work they are doing in their garden following the visit by Michelle. Work so far included removing most of the mock orange, leaving some of it to act as a screen from the street and a bit of shade from the western sun, painting the very old lattice red in lieu of expensive laser cut , rusty metal screens (budget being important!) and planting a whole range of native species. Click through to see some of the images of Wave’s hard work to make their garden wildlife friendly.

Koala in Cooroibah

Lake Cooroibah residents were treated to the rare sight of a koala in one of their Eucalypts following the recent fires. The koala rescue team set up a fence around the group of trees, installed a camera, set a trap and waited. On the second night she came down, thought the trap was a gateway to safety and was caught and relocated to dense bushland some distance away.
