Presentation and Sanctuary visit October 2025

“Wandiyali consists of open woodland and grassland, including a significant patch of critically endangered Box Gum Grassy Woodland, and importantly provides both east west and north south connectivity across the landscape, linking a corridor between Canberra and the coast and protecting an upper stretch of Jerrabomberra Creek.

After a stunning presentation at the FNAC meeting the previous night, we had great expectations of the sanctuary, and we weren’t disappointed. Much of the over storey had not been cleared, and included some very old large trees, but it was the under storey that really took our breath away. The post-grazing recovery was remarkable, and being Spring, we were treated to an amazing wildflower display.”
