A New Arrival

 

Lizzie and Shayne are delighted to announce the arrival of Tess!  Tess was born at home on 31st October (just in time for Shayne's birthday on 1st November!) weighing 6lb 9oz (2.9kg).  She is a wonderful, happy little baby and is already learning all about the bush and the beautiful wildlife.  We are so excited she is here at last!

 

 

An international perspective

Cat, Lisa and Lesley completed their Masters in Wildlife Biology and Conservation at Napier University in Edinburgh in 2007 and are now travelling the world to gain experience and contribute to wildlife conservation.  Monkeys, Pumas, Tuatara, Kaka and now Koalas - their wildlife husbandry skills are amazing! This wonderful team joined us over Spring and we wish them well as they continue on their adventure. 

 

 

 

Australian Geographic Society Conservation Award 2007

 

We are proud to share a fundamental underlying philosophy with the Australian Geographic Society – through our work we help people to maintain their link with the natural world, help them to feel ownership of Australia's landscapes, natural and cultural heritage, reunite them with it and sometimes introduce them to it for the very first time.

We are honoured to have been awarded the Conservation Award and are deeply grateful to the Australian Geographic Society for their support and encouragement. We look forward to working together for the future of Australia's natural heritage.

Victorian Identities

 
The Cape Otway Centre for Conservation Ecology has been featured as an icon of the Great Ocean Road.  We feel so privileged to spend our lives in the beautiful wilderness of the Otways with magnificent beaches, secret rainforests, majestic trees and fascinating wildlife. And we are so pleased to share it with people from Australia and around the world so that this fragile ecology may be better understood, nurtured and protected for future generations to enjoy.  We are proud to have been highlighted as one of Victoria's most special 'inside stories.'
