Awful disgusting little man

In spring, over a billion Bogong moths travel from all over SE Australia to a place they have never been before, Alpine caves, to spend the summer in aestivation. In Autumn the same individual returns to its breeding ground & dies. How do they do it? Prof Eric Warrant. The Biodiversity Conference.

Good news everybody! The Independent Planning Commission just REFUSED the bid to restart Redbank Power Station, noting unacceptable negative impacts on native flora and fauna. Common

Cream brick building with ‘Singleton Council Civic Centre’ on one wall, and a bronze sculpture of a bearded chap with a wide brimmed hat. No relation.
