  • Collected by Kara Healey & Others
    Research Report on the listing of Flora for Tarra-Bulga National Park (collected by Kara Healey & others), held at the National Herbarium of Victoria Peter Bryant (Photo: “Pink Fungi”, Craig Campbell) Friends of Tarra-Bulga National Park Inc. May 2010 1 | P a g e The source of the data and information residing in this Report is to be found in the database provided by the Royal Botanic Gardens Board, Melbourne, MELISR database, dated 17/02/2010. Tarra-Bulga National Park, in the eastern Strzelecki Ranges of Gippsland (Victoria) is a unique area of preserved Cool Temperate Rainforest and Wet Sclerophyll Forest representative of the once vast Strzelecki forest areas. Originally two separate parks (Bulga Park proclaimed in 1904 – 50 acres – and Tarra Valley Park in 1909 – 155 acres) they were physically joined together in 1991 and now create a National Park of over 2000 hectares. In September 2009 the Friends of Tarra-Bulga National Park celebrated the centenary of the Tarra Valley section of the Park by unveiling a plaque commemorating the life and work of Kara Healey, former Caretaker (Ranger) of the Park. As a result of Kara’s diligence and commitment (while Caretaker) many specimens of flora within the Tarra Valley area were collected. It was understood that the various specimens were sent to the University of Melbourne, the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Forest Products in Melbourne, National Museum (Melbourne) and the National Herbarium of Victoria for full identification and storage. However, the Park records and Friends group had no evidence of what still existed, and the extent, of Kara’s collection at the time of the Centenary events.
