Photopoints showing the progressive growth of revegetation at Balcanoona Headquarters

Above is the view of the BBQ area looking towards the north, before revegetation work. Below are images showing the progress of the Balcanoona re-vegetation project. They were taken from 13 photo-points in May 2023. Photographs from the same points will be taken during future visits and posted here for comparison. (Right click your mouse to see the menu, then select “Open image in new tab” for an enlarged image in a new window). We have produced plant name labels with their common names, their scientific names, and their Adnyamathanha names. These labels have been driven into the ground adjacent to the plants so that they may be identified while strolling through the plantings.

Before revegetation: immediately north of the Shearer’s Quarters.
