| | | | | | Kaya! We are in Kambarang, the season of birth. Young animals are emerging from nests and burrows to explore their surroundings. The corridor is blooming beautifully, with orchids, daisies, bottlebrushes, melaleucas, kangaroo and cat's paws, and more in flower. We have an exciting event coming up this month with a tree planting and ribbon cutting event at Yaakan (Turtle Corner) on Saturday 19 October. There are some spots available for the community and we'd love to see you there! In November join us for a guided walk through Karak where Chelsey Thompson will explain about Nyungar bush tucker and medicine. See below for registration links. |

| | | Dieback found in the corridor As advised in the Djilba newsletter, Dieback has been found in the corridor. Gates and Phytofighter boot cleaning stations have now been installed at the western and eastern ends of the infection zone. The area is still very boggy, so we advise walkers to avoid the area until the soil is dry. |
