Hoop Pine, Silky Oak and Acacia seed was collected from Arborlee and successfully germinated. The baby trees are growing happily in pots waiting for a future home.

February 2018 The Acacia are now in larger pots being hardened off in half shade. They will be used as a pioneer tree crop to protect the rainforest trees which will be planted in the TreeSisters grove later this Autumn. The Hoop Pine and Silky Oak are also in larger pots but remain in the shade house for protection from the intense summer heat and light.

Update August 2019

In collaboration with Killarney Bushcare once a month we help plant and maintain trees at several sites in the Cambanoora Gorge region. The Bushcare group meets on the first Saturday of the month. Some months there are extra events of interest to attend.

November 2017 Harry Hines, a well known local ecologist, gave a talk and demonstration of local wildlife at Adjinbilly Rainforest Retreat. 

December 2017 We met at Peter and Virginia's for a general discussion around Bushcare over the past year and going into next year.

The story of our base camp began with signing a contract with Bindarrabi Community for permission to place the camp on their communal ground for a period of 3 years.

Stage one was mowing grass and then erecting a large family tent on the chosen site. Shortly afterwards Cyclone Debbie made her presence felt nearly washing the tent away in the flood.
