But still This Place.

Collection of #Lomandra longifolia seed for saving, growing and then planting out locally by members of #nangaktamboree wildlife sanctuary
The Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary exists to: foster research and education in environmental science, management and restoration of indigenous habitats; provide an example of original areas such as River Red Gum woodlands and wetlands; provide an outdoors laboratory for observing and learning about natural history and the environment; and offer passive recreation areas away from the pressure of University and Urban life.
Getting in just under the line (in my time zone) for #ArtJanuaryCalendar, day 1 (Happy New Year!)
These are some samples of cordage made from foraged plant materials. Honestly I forget what plants they are — I think the left and upper right might be dandelion stems, and the lower right might be Lomandra (a common Australian native grass that’s endemic to our region.)
