Hello from Sydney

Hello,

I am a free-range Sydney Landscape Architect/Artist working closely with schools and garden lovers to improve ecological health and wellbeing of the spaces between buildings. At the moment I am working on a site in the foothils of the Illawarra Escarpment, Bulli, north of Wollongong, NSW and would like to talk with bird-watchers in the area. I look forward to learning more here at BiB.

Hi Annabel I am in Sydney and like to get around checking out the birdlife (and taking a few snaps) Sounds like a great job. Just a little ways north of Bulli where you are working is a nice group of areas for birding around Otford, Helensburgh, Heathcote, Waterfall, the Royal National Park and Lake Woronora. Check em out if you get a chance.

Hi Annabel, here's some links you might find interesting for the Illawarra and Southern Highlands (if you live down that way)

Hi Annabel. I'm in SA, not in Sydney, but I am interested in the work of landscape architects & the part they can play in restoration of damaged & lost ecologies. I'm particularly interested in the part that indigenous vegetation might play in your work.

Hi Annabel, wish I could be a bit more helpful but I live out in westernsydney! I love your job! What a fascinating and wonderful way to make a living!
I am trying in my own way to create a beautiful space around our house, I have an adult daughter who has an acquired brain injury and I am building her a sensory garden from native plants to bring the local birdlife in close for her to experience!
I also volunteer for an organisation that rescues and caresnfor native animals and birds.

Happy Birding!
