Hi Colleen.
On National Tree Day at the Haddon Reserve, Don and Vaughn (from Goldfields Weed Management) and myself planted 200 trees, kindly donated by supporters of Fifteen Trees.
The photo of the Brolga below, I took just last Sunday. There is currently a pair of Brolgas camped at Haddon and this one was calmly walking across the grassed area near the planting (along the western boundary of the reserve). The mate was feeding along the edge of the wetland. There could hardly have been a better place to be on a Sunday morning; quiet apart from birds calling, especially the native thrushes, balmy temperature, light breeze, bright morning sun and these magnificent Brolgas!
