BOONOORONG

The property adjoins the Mornington Peninsula National Park in Victoria, Australia. Covering 20 hectares (50 acres), it includes a deep wet gully (approx 4 hectares) with remnant dry sclerophyll to heathy woodland (approx 6 hectares). Most of the land was cleared for cattle grazing in the 1950's. Our aim is to re-vegetate the property with indigenous species, providing habitat and support for local wildlife. This blog records our observations and documents our journey for future custodians.
