Reflections on the Anstey-Keane Dampland

Launched earlier in the year by its authors Bryony Fremlin and David James, Reflections on the Anstey-Keane Dampland, showcases the stunning biodiversity of the reserve as well as the bushland of the Swan Coastal Plain. Now part of the Jandakot Regional Park, Anstey-Keane Dampland is a Bush Forever site totalling 302 ha in Perth’s southeast, one of the richest in the Perth metro area. As well as a rich array of fauna it harbours kwongkan shrubland, Banksia woodland as well as the winter-wet dampland.

The Perth Branch this month welcomes co-author of the book, David James, to give us a virtual tour through the damplands as it is today, as well outlining its chequered history. Unfortunately no books will be for sale at the meeting although it is available as a free e-book (details in the presentation).

Doors at the Community Centre open at 7:45 pm for an 8:00 pm start, with a $3 donation giving entry to the night’s door prize.
