Stefanie saw a lyre bird in display - lucky thing! - on her first walk with the club. Beautiful in the subdued light and visibility of the mist, tall ethereal trees, shrubs and tree ferns appear, loom and disappear; lyre birds give us a noisy telling off in bird talk as we approach, then dart across our path and disappear again. What birds are they in the tree above? Galahs that have lost their colour in this light. The tall straight trees disappear above into the mist and others disappear into the misty distance like a globe of visibility with thapes merging to mist at the limits.

The patch was about 1–2 metres long, much less than 1 metre wide, and located on a ledge at about the halfway point on a sheer cliff. The astonishment stemmed from the understanding that humans have affected and modified every part of Britain’s terrestrial surface. If we think on a world scale, Nadgee Nature Reserve, in the Eden region on the far south coast of New South Wales (NSW), is a rare gem because by European standards this large (20,671 ha) tract of forest is hardly disturbed by European occupation.
