Howdy Nature Nutz.... my name is Lola AKA Shark Creek Eco Warrior

I am lucky to own a small parcel of land in Shark Creek where most of my sighting are recorded. The Shark Creek Wetlands Nature Reserve is situated within the lowland rainforest floodplain in the Clarence Valley. The wetlands are national and state significance and are part of four threatened ecological communities; riparian lowland rainforest floodplain, swamp oak floodplain forest, swamp sclerophyll floodplain forest and freshwater wetlands. There are 78 acres dedicated to the protection of all flora and fauna. It is a member of Land for wildlife, a registered wildlife sanctuary with the Wildlife Land Trust and a Conservation Area in-perpetuity through the Biodiversity Conservation Trust YAY!

I have owned this land for 11 years and consider myself to be the "caretaker" of these abundant wetlands. It is a fantastic hotspot for birds with 132 species to date. The endangered Coastal emu passes through which is amazing, there's also breeding Brogla's that live and dance here, equally cool. The Grey-crowned babbler's are one of many of my fav's that nest and thrive here on this land, sharing the space once darkness falls with the likes of Tawny frogmouth's, Barn owl's Barking owl's, Long-nosed bandicoot's and, Brush-tailed possum's, Brush-tailed phascogale's, all which have been a permanent residents since I've been here, so a pretty exciting place to look after I'd say... Check out "Conservation Camping at the Creek" (on Hipcamp) if you'd like to see a bit more of the surrounding of my sightings and recordings, its not all big fat possums here at the creek.
