Another special thank you to Valerie for the wonderful work she does to produce our Lyrebird Tales newsletters. I am sure many tireless hours are needed to pull this together, and the results are a credit to her. I always receive commendations from readers after each new issue is published. We have seen a good number of interesting outings during the last 12 months. These include the regular bi-annual visits Answer on page 7 to the Coranderrk and the RACV Healesville Club.

Convener Birdlife Australia - Yarra Valley Branch June 2019 3 Lyrebird Tales Badger Weir Park opens continued We were the first visitors to the park that morning though some walkers and families arrived later and several workers were re-fitting the water tank further up the track near the weir where a section of a smashed large water pipe had been replaced. We were happy to see a male Superb Lyrebird cross the road in the picnic area before disappearing in the vegetation along the creek. Unfortunately this was the only Lyrebird seen or heard. We followed the track to the weir, the low vegetation halfway along the aqueduct appeared undisturbed but the Mountain Ash behind had their tops smashed off and many trees were missing. Here we saw a Sparrowhawk and a mixed flock of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, Red Wattlebirds, several Eastern Spinebills, Lewin’s Honeyeater, Crescent Honeyeater, Grey Fantail, Superb Fairy-wrens and Silvereyes. Reaching the end of the track the creek appeared undamaged but the bank of tree-ferns on one side of the weir had been flattened and erosion occurred.

It includes the Shires of Murrindindi, Yarra Ranges and Cardinia, as well as sections of Mitchell Shire and Baw Baw. It is very close to Melbourne, with its population of 5 million, with all locations listed in this submission an easy day trip. Excerpt from map of Regional Forest Agreement Areas. https://engage.vic.gov.au/future-of-our- forests/rfa-consultation-paper The Central Highlands is unique in the world for its Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests. Other unique plant species of the area include Southern Beech (Dicksonia antarctica) and Tree Geebung (Persoonia arborea). Threatened animal species which live here include two threatened species: Greater Gliders (Petauroides volans) and Leadbeater’s Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri). Only some of this area is permanently protected in National Parks, primarily Kinglake National Park, Mt Baw Baw National Park and Yarra Ranges National Park. The rest is state forest, much of which is available to logging by the Victorian government agency VicForests. The geographic concept of the Central Highlands is itself a creation of the Regional Forest Agreements, signed by the Federal and State Governments in 1998. Below is a map of areas which are proposed to be logged within the Central Highlands within the next 4-5 years.
