October on the beaches, choose your weapon and its power:

Head to the lakes to walk among our beautiful local she-oaks, favourite of the cockatoos

She-oaks are heroes of the Australian ecosystem. For millennia, GunaiKurnai Aboriginal Elders maintained a she-oak woodland on their lands that stretch from the coastal and inland areas of Gippsland to the southern slopes of the Victorian Alps.

But she-oak is in major decline across Australia. researchers from the Faculty of Science at Melbourne co-designed a study with the GLaWAC, which offers evidence of the pre-1750 ecosystem and how it was maintained. Combined with Indigenous Knowledge, this research points to a more truthful foundation for restoration, not only at Ngarrywayt but across the many Australian landscapes Indigenous people have shaped for thousands of years.
