19.01.2022 Did you know? Female Lace Monitors lay their eggs in a unique way. They dig a hole in the side of a termite mound and lay the eggs inside. The termites then repair the hole and the eggs will stay inside for up to 9 months.... When ready to hatch, the female Lace Monitor will return to dig up the mound and release the hatchlings. #wildlifefacts @wild_adventure_shots #wintonwetlands #wildlife #reptiles #lacemonitor #goanna #nature #environment #seeaustralia #visitvictoria #enjoybenalla #visitwangaratta #glenrowan #seehighcountry #vichighcountry #endangered #conservation #lizard

17.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS: This afternoon the federal Senate agreed to send the proposed nature law amendments to a Senate Committee Inquiry. The proposed legislation woul...d weaken our federal nature laws by handing off approval powers to state governments - without any federal independent regulator or national environmental standards to ensure that species are protected. The next step will be for the legislation to come back to be voted on in Parliament - in as little as two weeks! This process is rushed and incomplete and we are not happy! Join us and add your voice to speak up for nature laws that protect our threatened species such as this Critically Endangered Regent Honeyeater.

04.01.2022 We’re in for a few rainy days! Don’t forget, this means turtles are more likely to be out and about so be careful on the roads! If you come across a turtle on the road:... Stop and park your car in a safe place. Carefully pick the turtle up without tipping it up. Move the turtle away from the road in the direction it was travelling. #turtles #wetweather #rainyday #wintonwetlands #besafeontheroad #weather #BOMweather
