Images from the Box-Ironbark Forests
In October 2002 the National Parks Bill was passed by the Victorian State Parliament and the Greater Bendigo National Park was proclaimed.
The Bendigo campus of La Trobe University is fortunate to include a section of preserved bushland adjoining the newly proclaimed Greater Bendigo National Park and is thus in a unique position to contribute to the knowledge of these interesting forests.
The aim of this site is to increase our appreciation of the Box-Ironbark forests by providing public access to images of their smaller components*, those that generally escape the casual visitor or avid bushwalker.
*Images of the larger components are available on the CD-Rom 'Plants and Animals of the Box Ironbark Area of Central Victoria' from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
