wildlife

As a resident of Earlwood, living above Turrella Reserve, I feel very fortunate to live so close to the bushland of the Wolli Creek Regional Park. At TAFE in 2023, I created a large three-part drawing that features the cheeky birds who visit my home and also maps the narrow ribbon of bushland that helps local wildlife survive amidst the housing and development of ‘our hood’.

Starting on Monday 26 August, the library will be displaying this work for a month, including during Native Plant Giveaway Week. Earlwood Library, on the corner of William and Homer Streets, is only a ten minute walk from the bushland at Girrahween Park. So, if you get a chance, pop down and have a look at my drawing of our neighbourhood, and maybe go for a walk in the bush as well.
