Gherang Gherang Bushland Reserve bird walk
In April we had a pleasant ramble around Gherang Gherang Bushland Reserve, but with only a few species of bird to be seen.
Allen Noble Sanctuary Nature Ramble
A very enthusiastic group of ANGAIR members enjoyed the varied plant and animal life that is so accessible in this beautiful wetland reserve at Aireys Inlet.
A Weeder’s Early Life
It started innocently enough. ‘That’s one over there,’ my mother would say. Off I’d trot and carefully pull the Boneseed seedling out by the roots and suspend it in a bush or tree as I had been instructed.
Fauna Report April
So far this autumn we have seen an abundance of birdlife. Rare avian visitors have been attracted to the Surf Coast and surrounding areas.
Early Autumn Orchids
They are small, difficult to find and perhaps could be called insignificant, but the Midge Orchids, Corunastylis sp., that are now appearing in the Anglesea District are an indicator that all is going well in our orchid world.
Flora Report April
The Allen Noble Sanctuary is a sea of pink due to the massed flowering of Slender Knotweed, Persicaria decipiens.
Fungi of the Surf Coast Shire
When we think of life on Earth we tend to think of the plant and animal kingdoms, but there are also other kingdoms such as bacteria and fungi.
Photos from Members and Conservationists: Snow!
Rebecca Hosking from Aireys Inlet took these beautiful photos behind Lorne in the Otways around Mt Sabine road and Mt Cowley on 24 June 2016.

Weed of the month
Mirror Bush & Kohuha - Imports from NZ
NZ Mirror Bush Coprosma repens and Kohuhu Pittosporum tenuifolium are imports from New Zealand. Both are evergreen trees with glossy leaves that tend to grow in dense clumps eliminating indigenous species. Birds disperse the Mirror Bush berries and Kohuhu seeds into bushland reserves.
More details about how to control this weed can be found in the archive of Weeds of the Month.
