24.01.2022 Girralong Rainforest Retreat and the surrounding district have so far evaded the devastating fires that have ravaged northern New South Wales. A big shout out to the Girralong volunteer fire Brigade and all the other people putting their lives on hold and on the line to contain these fires in NSW and QLD! There is still a long way to go. Climate change, combined with anthropogenic alterations to Australian forests, have contributed significantly to these events. The ecosystem has changed and fires will behave differently.

22.01.2022 Wombats are rare in northern New South Wales, where they tend to be restricted to high elevations. So we were pleasantly surprised to see this fella on one of our camera traps at around 300m elevation at Girralong Rainforest Retreat.
