Gidgegannup is an area of regional biodiversity with an abundance of wildlife and wildflowers. The area also has local waterways and significant wetlands including the Avon River, Red Swamp, Wooroloo Brook, Gidgegannup Brook and Jane Brook, running through it. For those wanting to get the most out of a visit to Gidgegannup, a number of scenic wildflower and wildlife walk and drive trails have been developed. The best time to view the wildflowers is Spring (September to November). Visitors can create their own picnic hamper at the local bakery and then head out on a trail. Alternatively they can enjoy the laid back vibe of a country tavern or the stunning surrounds at a winery restaurant after a day of exploring. If you are looking for something more physical and adventurous than a walk, why not try paintball. Handmade soaps and locally grown lavender products make great take home memories of your visit or gifts for friends and family. Trail maps and a guide are available from the Swan Valley Visitor Centre, on www.swanvalley.com.au or at the Gidgegannup City of Swan Place Office on Toodyay Road. events Each year the region hosts two community events, the Small Farm Field Day and the Gidgegannup Show, where visitors are treated to loads of interesting entertainment and fun for the whole family. gidgegannup small farm field day Held on the last Sunday in May, the Countryman Gidgegannup Small Farm Field Day is the place where those living and working on small farms in the agricultural sector come together.

  • Bettongia Penicillata
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice and retained this species in the Endangered category, effective from 01/02/2018 Conservation Advice Bettongia penicillata woylie Note: The information contained in this conservation advice was primarily sourced from ‘The Action Plan for Australian Mammals 2012’ (Woinarski et al., 2014). Any substantive additions obtained during the consultation on the draft has been cited within the advice. Readers may note that conservation advices resulting from the Action Plan for Australian Mammals show minor differences in formatting relative to other conservation advices. These reflect the desire to efficiently prepare a large number of advices by adopting the presentation approach of the Action Plan for Australian Mammals, and do not reflect any difference in the evidence used to develop the recommendation. Taxonomy Conventionally accepted as Bettongia penicillata (Gray 1837). Two subspecies are recognised: B. p. penicillata in south-eastern Australia, now Extinct; and B. p. ogilbyi in south-western Australia. The subspecific classification of Bettongia penicillata is unresolved. It is possible that the two subspecies represent distant ends of a cline that terminated in south-eastern Australia (subspecies penicillata ) and south-western Australia (subspecies ogilbyi ). A species in northern Queensland ( B. tropica ) was originally described as a subspecies of B. penicillata , but is no longer recognised as part of that species. This assessment applies to the entire species, B. penicillata , although only one subspecies, B. p. ogilbyi , is extant. Summary of assessment Conservation status Endangered: Criterion 1 (A2)(b)(e) and Criterion 2 B2(a),(b)(ii,iii,iv).

    2020 AWC Intern Program Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of Australia’s threatened wildlife and their habitats. Funded primarily by donations, AWC is taking action to protect Australia’s wildlife by: • Establishing a network of sanctuaries that protect threatened wildlife and ecosystems; • Implementing practical, on-ground conservation programs to protect the wildlife at our sanctuaries: these programs include feral animal control, fire management, and the translocation of threatened species; • Conducting scientific research that help address the key threats to our native wildlife; and • Hosting visitor programs at our sanctuaries for the purpose of education and promoting awareness of the plight of Australia’s wildlife. AWC offers opportunities for promising graduate students to gain valuable field experience in conservation research via its Internship Program. In 2020, AWC will offer a total of twelve internships, of 4.5 – 6 months duration, across its network of sanctuaries. Each internship has been designed to provide an exciting training program. The program is designed to introduce conservation biologists to a variety of sanctuaries with a host of different ecosystems, flora and fauna, field techniques, and conservation issues. The internships provide a modest living stipend for the duration of the program, plus travel assistance. • North-west Interns will spend 6 months at Mornington, Marion Downs, Tableland, Charnley River- Artesian Range, Yampi [WA] and Newhaven [NT], with possible trips to other NW managed properties. • North-east Interns will spend 6 months based in Cairns* with trips to Brooklyn, Piccaninny Plains, Mt Zero-Taravale, Bowra and Curramore [QLD], Pungalina Seven-Emu, Bullo River Station and/or Wongalara [NT] • South-west Interns (Karakamia, Paruna and Faure Island) will spend 5 months at Karakamia, Paruna and Faure Island with the possibility of brief visits to Mt Gibson [WA].

We trust you will enjoy reading Wildlife Matters, which we hope to fill with good news about the wildlife in AWC’s sanctuaries. Unfortunately, for most of the last 200 years the news regarding Australia’s wildlife has not been good. The Toolache Wallaby, widely regarded as the most beautiful and graceful member of the kangaroo family, is gone forever. The Thylacine, the Paradise Parrot and the enigmatic Lesser Bilby are just some of the other animals that Australia has lost. continued on page 2 CONTENTS Is Mt Zero the Last Chance for the Northern Bettong? 3 Northern Bettong Photo: QPWS Eastern Pebble-mound Mouse Wet Sclerophyll Forest Sanctuary News 4 ustralian Wildlife Conservancy is proposing to acquire a The Evolution of AWC 6 remarkable wilderness area in north Queensland that is AWC Provides New Hope Ahome to more than 35 native mammal species.

Sadly, Mt Zero and its wildlife are threatened by logging and grazing. AWC discovered Mt Zero, deep in the Coane Mountain Range, when our scientists visited north Queensland last year. They were delighted to find a property rich in native mammals - a real ‘hotspot’ for Australia’s threatened mammal fauna.

  • Wildlife Ecologist JD
    Land Management Officers Mount Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, WA (1 position available) Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary, WA (1 position available) Australian Wildlife Conservancy is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of Australia’s threatened wildlife and their habitats. AWC now owns and manages more land than any other private conservation organisation in Australia - 27 properties, covering more than 4.6 million hectares - protecting more than 1,200 fauna species through active land management informed by strategic scientific research. Four of these sanctuaries – Karakamia, Paruna, Faure Island and Mt Gibson – occur in southwestern Australia, an internationally recognised “biodiversity hotspot”. AWC is seeking two enthusiastic and committed Land Management Officers at our SW sanctuaries to assist in the implementation of a range of land management programs (fire management including prescribed burning and wildfire suppression, feral animal control and weed management). One LMO is to be based at Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary (approximately 4 ½ hours NE of Perth near Wubin) and another LMO at Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary (1 hour out of Perth). These are ongoing full-time positions, commencing mid 2019. This is an exciting opportunity to carry out land management that is closely integrated with comprehensive science and monitoring programs on Australia’s largest wildlife restoration project reintroducing nine of Australia’s most endangered mammals back into habitat where they were previously regionally extinct. The successful candidates will work alongside other AWC land management and science staff, researchers and volunteers. You will work closely with the land management team to support ongoing fire management, feral animal control, weed management and visitor management programs.
