Welcome to ANGAIR
ANGAIR (Anglesea, Aireys Inlet Society for the Preservation of Flora and Fauna) is dedicated to protecting our indigenous flora and fauna, and to maintaining the natural beauty of Anglesea and Aireys Inlet and their local environments. It was established in 1969 through the influence of a local resident Mrs Edith Lawn. Read more about our achievements over the last 50 years.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the ANGAIR website and will consider joining our Society. If you are interested in the environment, want to learn more about the flora and fauna found in it, and wish to conserve it for future generations, there are lots of different ways you can get involved.
August flora notes
What is out right now? Along the clifftops, bushes of White Correa, Correa alba, have for weeks been displaying attractive white flowers with curled-out petals.
July Nature Ramble
Our July Nature Ramble was to the Dusty Miller Track, well-named, as the Dusty Miller plant, Stylidium parvifolium is wide-spread in the area.
Orchids in July
The Small Helmet Orchid, Corybas unguiculatus, has been chosen as our special orchid for this month. It is so tiny that it can easily be overlooked.
July flora notes
Along the clifftops look out for clusters of tiny yellow flowers on the bushes of Thyme Rice-flower, Pimelea serpyllifolia subs. serpyllifolia.
July birds
Hooded Plovers are flocking at Point Roadknight, as is usual for this time of year.
The case for a curfew
There is no need for our loved and well-fed domestic cats to be on the loose outside, as they can live very happily indoors. Indeed, is there no nicer experience for a cat lover than to spend cold winter evenings sitting by a fire and cuddling their cat?
ANGAIR - the next 50 years
After ANGAIR celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019, we started to think about what lay ahead for the next 50 years and how we could prepare for the changes ahead.
Plant regeneration survey
The Nature walk this month was a plant regeneration survey within the strategic fuel break at Eumeralla.
