Welcome to ANGAIR
ANGAIR (Anglesea, Aireys Inlet Society for the Preservation of Flora and Fauna) is dedicated to protecting our indigenous flora and fauna, and to maintaining the natural beauty of Anglesea and Aireys Inlet and their local environments. It was established in 1969 through the influence of a local resident Mrs Edith Lawn. Read more about our achievements over the last 50 years.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the ANGAIR website and will consider joining our Society. If you are interested in the environment, want to learn more about the flora and fauna found in it, and wish to conserve it for future generations, there are lots of different ways you can get involved.
August flora notes
August is always an exciting month as there can be many unexpected plants in flower.
50th Anniversary No Show!
Next month was to have celebrated the 50th anniversary of the annual ANGAIR Wildflower and Art Weekend, originally called the Nature Show. Unfortunately, for the first time in those 50 years, the scheduled show has been cancelled.
Cecil Track nature walk
Just four of us had a lovely morning. We stated at Gum Flat corner observing the beautiful little Veined Helmet Orchid Corybus diemenicus. There is a good population this year and the colony seems to be spreading out.
Coogerah Park bird walk
We chose Coogoorah Park because it is close and we can’t car pool at the moment. It was a glorious, if cold morning with beautiful reflections but rather quiet in bird land.
Fauna report July
This month we have shared Point Roadnight with a male Australian Fur Seal, Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus.
Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority
Legislation to create the new Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority (GORCAPA) has now passed both houses of parliament. This authority will assume control of all public lands between the Great Ocean Road (GOR) and the coast.
Update on Anglesea River and Anglesea Borefield
The Anglesea River Working Group met in June to consider reports on the condition of the river from the Estuary Watch group, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, Barwon Water, Surf Coast Shire, DELWP and Alcoa.
