Recently I went on a wildflower walk with the Bundaberg Landcare group to Vera Scarth-Johnson Wildflower Reserve off Coonarr Road in Burnett Shire. It was a lovely day and was great to see some of our region's native flora, which desperately needs protection from further suburban development. Click here to view the photo gallery.

A lot of people take the natural environment for granted, not realising that a healthy environment is a requirement for a healthy us! Landcare works hard to protect and maintain our region's rivers and waterways - beautiful natural areas like Baldwin Swamp and Smith's Crossing on the Kolan River. I've asked Landcare if they would be interested in participating in the SustainaBundy guide - I would be pleased if we could "partner" with this likeminded community organisation.
