I have moved most of our observations to the Bunurong coast in this week’s ‘Cape Chatter’. Despite the onset of cooler weather, there is still plenty of action down on the coast. Given the atrocious wet, windy weather, I have also had to dive into the archives to use some photos I have taken since moving into The Cape.

The first issue of ‘Cape Chatter’ was a great success and thank you to the many people who provided positive feedback and support. It certainly sparked interest, stimulated awareness and encouraged observation. There is clearly a lot of interest in the natural world within The Cape community and to further developments of the environment for the benefit of residents, wildlife and flora.

One of the objectives of The Cape project is to restore the habitat with indigenous flora and attract as much native wildlife back into what was previously degraded agriculture land. The proximity of the Bunurong Coastal Reserve bushland and coast to our south provides a wonderful haven for wildlife. Along with the fantastic wetlands, open spaces, residential native gardens and the soon to be constructed Stage 3 Open Space Reserve, we have the perfect stage for observing and enjoying the natural beauty as the development and landscape evolves.
