Flying out 🦇
#GunaiKurnaiCountry
Pre-burn works by #FFMV have caused serious and avoidable damage in known Nowa Nowa Grevillea and Glossy Black-Cockatoo habitat. This is one of Victoria’s rarest plants, found only in the Colquhoun Forest east of Bruthen #GunaiKurnaiCountry www.geg.org.au/lyles-bk-2025

🦇 Hot weather is coming next week and there are many small pups in roosts. Please be mindful of colonies on hot days - bats will be moving down under the canopy & will be stressed by heat. Please keep your distance & avoid any disturbance in the days that follow #GunaiKurnaiCountry

Plants in a damp wet forest
This is a snapshot of an area in the Boola Boola State Forest on #gunaikurnaicountry that FFMV has on the list to burn in 2025. An area of damp, wet forest along a creek with abundant biodiversity. How is this even allowed?
Saturday's full moon was an ideal night to look for Greater Gliders in the Boola Boola State Forest with members of #KinglakeFriendsoftheForest. We spotted 4 gliders. 😀 These gliders and other arboreal creatures are at risk of #FFMVs planned burning regime. #gunaikurnaicountry
Latest report from GEG surveyors:
May 2025 - #Vicgov agency #FFMV incinerated 46H of Providence Ponds Fauna & Flora Reserve #GunaiKurnaiCountry.
Remnant old growth woodlands & sedge wetlands - burnt thru. Many old hollow bearing trees - collapsed. Why www.geg.org.au/ppffr-burnt-...

April 2024: #FFMV Burning Special Protection Zones The most recent survey recorded 9 Yellow-Bellied Gliders and 12 Greater Gliders in the Wattle Ck Rd burn. Other records included Long-nosed Bandicoots Koalas. See link for what happened #GunaiKurnaiCountry www.geg.org.au/wattle-ck-ki...
🦇 For the first time in many years, all the grey headed flying foxes have left town. We’d love to know where they’ve gone to find blossom: Bairnsdale #GunaiKurnaiCountry
The wonderland that is a forest with a diverse understory & intact canopy. This is the Gippsland Lakes Discovery Trail in the Colquhuon Forest Park #GunaiKurnaiCountry. The trail follows the Mississippi Creek, that becomes the North Arm @ Lakes Entrance

#GunaiKurnaicountry Mitchell River NP: 1876ha lit up by #FFMV April-25. FFMV website says 500ha has been 'treated' & FFMV plan to burn the rest. Damage has already occurred. NO MORE FIRE should be lit up here. See survey & Take action on link geg.org.au/mrnp-burn-2025 📷

The rivers are struggling. Seen firsthand with the Latrobe River system facing competing demands from coal mine rehabilitation, irrigation and recreation. And the Latrobe River flows all the way down into the #GippslandLakes #GunaiKurnaiCountry

Wherever they go, they leave a trail of destruction. #FFMV recently lit up 80Ha of Providence Ponds Fauna & Flora Reserve. The road is Mouse Track - so named for nationally endangered #Pookila or #NewHollandMouse that lives here. This one of only 3 VIC locations where it remains #GunaiKurnaiCountry

Fire management planning is happening “behind closed doors” without independent oversight. We need to fundamentally change how fire is used and how bushfires are managed. Current practices are damaging biodiversity and habitat.
#FFMV #Glossyblackcockatoos #GunaiKurnaiCountry
Glossy black cockatoos are listed as Critically Endangered in Victoria, where they are found only in East Gippsland. Fire in black sheoak forests of East Gippsland would destroy the birds’ food supply #FFMV #Glossyblackcockatoos #GunaiKurnaiCountry
Glossy black cockatoos pushed towards extinction in VIC if #FFMV planned burns of 13,000ha of forest go ahead, “unburnt stands of black sheoak are of critical importance for the species”
