I love exploring the amazing biodiversity found in North East Victoria, specifically the native plants, birds, and more recently arthropods. Species endemic to NE Victoria are of particular interest, and I am a member of the Wangaratta Australian Plant Society. As a part-time environmental science student, I am constantly working on improving my ID skills. A short walk seems to take me longer and longer, as I pay more attention to what surrounds me. New discoveries, other than introduced species, bring great enjoyment.
