Linda and Roger's Bunhybee Grasslands - Landscape

This is a page within Roger and Linda's Bunhybee Grasslands Web-Site.

Bunhybee Grasslands is a 49 hectare / 120 acre conservation property 35km south of Braidwood, in southern N.S.W.

You can follow through the internal links, or you may find it easier to use the Site-Map.

This page contains some preliminary information about the landscape on and surrounding the property, and some photos.

The property is on a west-facing slope 1km above a creekline that runs northwards and joins the Shoalhaven 4km away. The range to the west, the Tallaganda, is part of the Great Divide. It includes some national park, but is mostly 'state forest', i.e. liable to be clear-felled and replaced with radiata pine at any moment. The valley has been good sheep-country, but with wool's decline is now mostly cattle, and is increasingly subject to subdivision into hobby-farms too small to be viable. Most of the valley is improved pasture, but some patches of native, or largely native, grassland remain.
