You might remember that back in June I started the process of making my own potting mix from leaf 🍁 🍂mold (composted leaves).

I was hoping for a resolution by now but it hasn’t happened. My Facebook page was my main form of communication but my page has been caught up in the ‘news’ drama between Facebook and the Australian Government. 😔

Good news for those of you who missed out on the @summerbythesea_vic program in January - the program has been extended until the 28th February.

Not many people get to see burrowing crayfish because they spend most of their lives in underground burrow systems on the land rather than in open waterways, but their soil chimneys might be familiar, especially during wet weather. West Gippsland is a bit of a hot spot for burrowing crayfish with nine species occurring in the area. Five of these are endemic (restricted) to the region and three have special protection (listed under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988). This little critter is a Gippsland Burrowing Crayfish (Engaeus hemicirratulus) (not endangered but endemic to the area) and was caught crossing our driveway in the drizzle. It’s the first time I’ve seen one here but their chimneys are prominent down one side of the property. Now I know which species is responsible for them!
