Wildlife

A checklist of species which have been sighted on Moorunde is available for the ornithologist or herpetologist or nature enthusiast.

Below are thumb nails, sorted by type, of the amazing wildlife that can be found in our Reserves. If you like what you see please consider becoming a member. You know it's only $27.50 per year for a whole family and you get 6 journals through the year. Please contact Peter Jones, our membership officer.

The thumb nails are links, so by clicking on them you'll see a much larger image of the subject. For clarity some of the thumb nails are a part of the large photo, rather than a fully scaled image. Thumb nails are used to increase the speed of loading a pictorial list, allowing you to choose which photo's you wish to spend time down loading. The numbers next to the thumb nails indicate the size of the larger photo'.

While some of the photo's are old, this in no way detracts from the spectacular pictures only a click away.

You may want to adjust the brightness level of your monitor to maximise your appreciation of these images.
