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.
