Life in a Southern Forest
Describing life in one small patch of dry sclerophyll forest: the plants, the insects, the birds and other animals and their myriad interactions.
"We live in a forest on the far South Coast of NSW, not far from the Victorian border. This is an area of great natural beauty, with extensive stands of native forest in national parks and state forests. Several small rivers drain the nearby coastal ranges and flow into isolated bays with quiet sandy beaches.
We first published the website in August 2017 and it is our intention to continuously add news, stories and images for many years to come. Part of our aim with the website is to convey our enthusiasm for natural history … the practise of discovering, observing, and describing plants and animals within their natural environment.
We invite you to share these pages with interested friends. Perhaps they are already naturalists … or they might be encouraged to take a closer look at nature when next they venture out into the bush."
