| | | | | | Kaya! We are in Birak, the season of the young. The calls of Rainbow Bee-eaters can be heard in the corridor again, with several pairs nesting. Gnoolark (Carnaby's Cockatoo) are returning from their breeding sites with young. Moodjar, Balga and Tjunguri (Fringe Lily) are in flower at the moment. Watch out for Djanjin (Woody Pear) flowers, which are almost out in Karak. Project events are going into aestivation (we're having a summer break!), but we'll be back in Bunuru. Planning has started for the next conference, so watch out for an email in February with more info. |

| | | | | Yaakan update Yaakan (Turtle Corner) transformation is taking shape. The woody meadow is now 18 months old and it's looking great. Two Tuart trees have been planted to replace the Norfolk Island Pines. The King Jarrah bench seat has been installed, so why don't you pop down and check it out? In case you don't know, it's on the corner of Hope Road and Progress Drive, Bibra Lake. |

| | | | | Weed watch Chamelaucium uncinatum (Geraldton Wax) is a woody weed with white/pink flowers. Many people see this as a local, but it is not in Perth. It can outcompete local plants and form dense thickets. To remove, cut it at the base and paint with glyphosate. | | Find out more |

| Community Survey Thanks to all who completed the community survey earlier this year. This is an important part of gauging success in the social rehabilitation aspect of the project. We take your feedback seriously. One example is the presence of artwork, where the community wants more. This year has seen the addition of the first artwork in the form of a beautiful carved bench seat by Daniel Iley. Despite project constraints, we are encouraging community led artwork. One is in planning for Karak and we hope for more, so watch this space! Follow the link below to view the report. | | Find out more |
