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 and support us.
August Orchids
The recent cold wet weather has meant the orchids have been slow to develop this month but with the recent warmer sunshine buds are starting to swell and we still have the promise of some good late winter flowering.
Getting to Know Our Tracks: Currawong Falls
A beautiful Winter morning for a small group to walk the 10.2 km circuit to Currawong Falls.
June nature ramble
On Monday 13th June, Queen’s Birthday weekend, a group of us met for a Nature Ramble in the Great Otway National Park.
July Orchid Report
It is always so exciting to see the first Small Helmet Orchid, Corybas unguiculatus, in flower. These tiny orchids are just starting to flower at Moggs Creek where there is a large colony growing in leaf litter around the eucalypts.
Anglesea Bushland Reserve Nature Ramble
Effects of fire on vegetation was the main theme for this month’s nature ramble as we visited the Anglesea Bushland Reserve where an ecological burn had been completed on half of the reserve in November 2021.
Bird Walk Report June 2022
Fourteen people attended the Angair Bird Walk on Saturday 11 June. The weather did not look promising but in fact turned out to be not as windy as expected.
Anglesea Winter Orchids
With autumn drawing to an end and winter approaching, the Greenhood Orchids are dominant in the district. Tiny Greenhoods, Pterostylis parviflora, and Brown-tipped Greenhoods, P. clivosa, have almost finished flowering but there are still some to be found.
Forest Rd Circuit walk
We had perfect weather, a sunny, mild and calm day with the sun shining through the low vegetation. Common Heath was flowering well. A variety of fungi were seen.
