I love the trees and I love the naturalness of this particular area. Its Angophora trees are just so beautiful. They seem to be the characteristic tree around here. We've also got the Corymbias and they're gorgeous too and then there are the Banksias, Grevillias, Xanthorrhoea, all this coastal vegetation and heathland. Quite a few of the little birds are still around here. Quite a lot of natural things. We've got Powerful Owls around here. We've got mopokes, or BooBook Owls and Bush turkeys. We've got lots of bush turkeys, we've got Kookaburras and many common Australian birds, but we've got quite a few of the little birds too, little wrens which are very relevant to this area. We've been observing native rats here too. Walking down on the harbour I’ve noticed bush rat footprints, so it's it's a wonderful little area.
The views from the harbour are something we think are very special. That you look from the harbour and you see greenery. So it's for the people of Sydney, the people who live here, it's for their benefit. But it's also for people who are visiting and coming from the harbour and looking at Sydney harbour more or less as it was in these parts. There are little bits of built environment from here and there, but you get quite a lot of the natural ambience of the harbour looking up at these areas.
Wonderful.
How important it is for people to have somewhere to breathe, somewhere to go, somewhere to enjoy the native vegetation, the natural air, clear air and just experience the natural ambience. It's so good for our brains. I think it's very, very important for everyone, but especially for city dwellers. You really need your greenery, and you really need your open space too, but your bushland is just so special.
