New video: a quiet photo walk in Wombat State Forest, Blackwood VIC. I make three wild fungi macros using focus bracketing on the Sony A7R V—no talking, just forest ambience. I’ll share the finished photos over the next couple of days. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JLFoHxRmTI

"A Supreme Court justice has ordered VicForests to temporarily halt the harvesting of fallen trees at a site in Victoria's west, after a community group alleged it had not surveyed for threatened species."
"Wombat Forestcare began court proceedings last week seeking an injunction for the site in Wombat State Forest, alleging VicForests had not checked the area for species of owls, quolls and reptiles."
"This morning, Supreme Court Justice Melinda Richards ordered VicForests and its contractor to stop any work in the harvesting area until October 31."

VicForests is facing another court proceeding, this time issued by community group Wombat Forestcare, which is concerned salvage logging operations are proceeding without proper surveys for threatened species.
It's such a delight to return to #wombatstateforest in spring - everything is so colourful!
This is the famous #wombatbushpea #pultenaea reflexifolia - a member of the #fabaceae which is endemic to the Wombat and surrounding area.
