The next road trip starts tomorrow. Sorry I could not finish the Kangaroo Island reports. At least 2 maybe 3 more reports to come.

Next stop the Central Coast, then the Warrumbungles, then across to Broken Hill, via Dubbo and the Western Plains Zoo. Then down to AWC’s Scotia Sanctuary in Outback NSW.

Back to Broken Hill and then a 2 week Simpson Desert crossing finishing at White Cliffs.

Then to Sydney by some long route, then on a plane to Broome. Next stop AWC’s Mornington Sanctuary in the Central Kimberly’s. Back to Sydney then out to Deniliquin for some bird photography. A bit over 2 months in total.

Track me in near real time here.

New South Wales’ Jurassic Park

Australia, AWC, mammals, marsupials, NSW

This is a big one.

“THOUSANDS of hectares of national park land across the State will be set aside for locally extinct animals such as the bilby and numbat under an ambitious NSW government plan to return the Australian bush as it was a century ago.”

Read the article here, some great pictures of rare Australian small mammals, several of the which The Doc saw on his recent trip. The Project is being run in conjunction with Australian Wildlife Conservancy. It is pleasing to see the NSW Government taking effective action to help save these critically endangered animals.
