25.01.2022 This year marks the 50th anniversary of the ANGAIR Wildflower and Art Weekend. To celebrate, our show will take on a new look and name - ‘ANGAIR Nature Show 2020’! Our event and activities are going online with the launch of our new website coming soon in September. This new format will allow us to showcase and share our local flora and fauna, conservation and environmental knowledge and ANGAIR history with our local and wider community. During these times it is important that we stay connected to each other and our natural environment and the ANGAIR Nature Show 2020 can help us all achieve that. Keep an eye out for further details about our upcoming show here.

25.01.2022 The 2021 virtual nature show is live today at www.angairnatureshow.org.au . The website has been refreshed and there are new things to see and do through four Themes. Create and Play has things to do during lockdown. Explore self guided walks for those who are lucky enough to get out into our wonderful environment. Many videos of our local treasures for those at home. Lots to Learn. The Wonder theme has lots of new images. Our threatened species are celebrated in Protect. New items are loaded frequently. Check What's New on the Home Page.

24.01.2022 Have you experienced the beautiful Anglesea Heathland Clifftop Spring Walk?

23.01.2022 Gail Slykhius led Angair's May Nature Ramble on the Koorie walk at Pt Addis. Highlights were the stunning view of Addiscott beach, flowering Cranberry Heath and Propeller Plant. Gail also showed us how to tell the age of a Grass Tree. Check out our website www.angair.org.au for the Nature Rambles.

23.01.2022 Many Angair members were very concerned about the establishment of the Strategic Fire Breaks in the district. We have been actively involved in discussions with Forest Fire Management and many of our questions were answered in this the FFM team which features on the nature show at www.angairnatureshow.org.au/themes/protect

22.01.2022 Join Caroline Hawkins as she explores the connection between observing nature and art. Have you made any ephemeral art pieces, or might you feel inspired to give it a go? We’d love to see the results. You are invited to experiment in your own garden or perhaps on the beach.

17.01.2022 Important Anglesea message. Please note the advice from Anglesea Medical

17.01.2022 Over the last few months many ANGAIR members have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help make the virtual Nature Show a reality. Without our members hard work and vision we would not be where we are today. In recognition of our incredible ANGAIR team and all of you, our community who have been so resilient throughout COVID-19, we are excited to share with you our ANGAIR Nature Show website http://angairnatureshow.org.au/

17.01.2022 These are difficult times, with many constraints on our usual activities and interactions. Perhaps one positive aspect might be our increased opportunity for reflective thought. From this quiet introspection, maybe we can reach inside ourselves to find reserves of creativity. Therein, maybe, we can find distraction, solace, and even joy. The weather forecast provides a perfect opportunity to contribute to our poetry share and view our current contributions on the website https://angairnatureshow.org.au/themes/create/poetry-share/

15.01.2022 Check out our PLAY theme for some entertaining, mind boggling activities. We've got a wide range of jigsaws, quizzes and games perfect for everyone https://angairnatureshow.org.au/themes/play/

15.01.2022 Anglesea Art Is... The talented students at Anglesea Primary School have created a virtual art exhibition. Inspired by the book 'Art Is' from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York the students have adapted the concept to their hometown and thought about what art is in relation to ANGAIR. The result? A unique and beautiful exhibition of artwork, using a myriad of styles and techniques.... Check out the virtual art exhibition here https://youtu.be/gcKNh0reqXQ
