SOLN - Busty Road Revegetation
When: Saturday 6th August - 10am-1pm followed by lunch
Where: 195 Busty Road, Apollo Bay
Apollo Bay Landcare Group and SOLN are teaming up to help do some revegetation on Busty Rd.
Like a lot of our high rainfall hilly areas, there is a lot of natural regeneration happening on this property (from wind blown and animal spread seeds), however, some species like Eucalypts are not good at colonising large distances due to their seed type. As a result we are planning on giving natural succession a helping hand by adding in a few larger species that are missing on the property.
Unfortunately as well, feral deer such as fallow are becoming a problem in the area and so large guards will need to be applied on all plants to prevent grazing damage.
Marcel will be putting on a delicious feed after the event so please RSVP on the National Tree Day Website to give us an idea on numbers for catering. Spare gloves and tree planters provided.

SOLN Tree Guard Working Bee

Where: Otway Park
We’re having a large tree guard working bee at Otway Park on 17th September from 9:30am - 12:30pm to work at installing some more of the super guards as part of the Wild Otways Initiative project.
The guards are made using three star pickets and 2.5mtrs of heavy duty chicken wire cable-tied to the posts.
Please bring along work boots (gaiters if you have them) and gloves as we’ll be walking through bracken, bushes and fallen trees.
You will get to see the revegetation work we’ve been doing after planned burns, and see how effective the larger tree guards are in protecting smaller trees from wallabies etc.
Otway Park is at the 8 kilometre mark (orange post) (about half a kilometre past the Manna Gum Drive turnoff to Bimbi Park) on the Lighthouse Road after you turn off the Great Ocean Road. Come in the gate and follow the main/worn track around till you see us…
We’ll provide a lunch afterwards and hope to see a few volunteers come along.
We’d appreciate knowing if people were coming to help with catering.

 The Otway Biofest @ Gellibrand & Apollo Bay
How well do we really know the Otway Ranges and coastline?
There’s a long weekend on the horizon. By then, spring will have sprung! So, we’ve got a cracking experience planned for you. It’s on the last weekend of October, so pop it on the calendar!
We’re so lucky in this area to be surrounded by such a richly diverse environment. Let's share and celebrate this beauty and complexity, with visitors from near and far.
Whether you’re a bike rider, scout, walker, snorkeler, bird watcher, beachcomber, team, group, family or individual, this weekend has something for everyone.
Throughout the weekend there’ll be local legends leading groups to different parts of the Otways to observe and connect with all the diverse creatures and critters - like birds, frogs, plants, fungi, bats, moths, fish and marine life. Some of these activities will even be under the stars. There will be guest presenters and workshops on their specialties like plant, animal, fungi and marine life, including friends and foes.
This same weekend is the Great Southern Bioblitz (GSB), a biodiversity survey with thousands of participants across 14 countries. Our event is a part of this and will contribute observations of biodiversity to this large-scale citizen science project. We’ll go onto a global leaderboard of hundreds
of similar regional projects, for the number of observations we make and the number of different species we see.
Over the past few years all across the Otways, there’s been a small group of passionate people doing the heavy lifting for all of us. Rain hail or shine, they’ve been observing all forms of biodiversity, annually, in a ninety-six-hour marathon. It’s time to up the ante and ignite the Aussie competitive
spirit for the GSB, a competition with many countries across the southern hemisphere. Oh, and we’ll be having some fun along the way, of course!
By dedicating a weekend to hanging out together and observing nature, we can make new connections with our human and non-human communities at the same time.
Participants are welcome to come along for individual sessions or camp out by the fire for the whole weekend. There are limited camping discounts up for grabs too! In both Gellibrand and Apollo Bay.
When
The Great Southern Bioblitz runs From Friday 28th to Monday 31st Oct. All coordinated Otways Biofest activities will be scheduled for Saturday 29 and Sunday 30, in and around Gellibrand and Apollo Bay.
How
Go to www.coln.org.au and subscribe to our news updates, so you’ll be ‘in the know’ when the schedule is released. You can also email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to express your interest in a discount for camping at Gellibrand (base camp) or Apollo Bay (marine and coastal camp).
Places are limited for both locations. We will be releasing info about our guest speakers on our Instagram account too @otwayfoodandfibre.

Otway Night: An Exhibition by Karlijn Sas
@ The Project Space, 2-4 Noel St, Apollo Bay
This exhibit showcases works created this year, where the Otway night seems to be of great influence. Some artworks were inspired by the baths taken outside while Karlijn and her partner Steve were renovating their bathroom. Sitting in the warm water and taking the time to see all the colours in our spectacular night sky, made many intuitive paintings end up being night landscapes.
 Other things Karlijn experimented with were monochromatic colour schemes. These are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints. Tints are achieved by adding white and shades and tones are achieved by adding a darker colour, grey or black.
Monochromatic painting has been an important component of avant-garde visual art throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century. Painters have created the exploration of one colour, examining values changing across a surface, texture, and nuance, expressing a wide variety of emotions, intentions, and meanings in many different forms. From geometric precision to expressionism, the monochrome has proved to be a durable idiom in Contemporary art.
This series builds on her previous work Chromatic Bias, in which she used colours that the human visual system adjusts when there are changes in illumination, causing every individual to see the colours in the artworks slightly differently.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT. EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
Artist Bio: Karlijn Sas is a visual artist that creates semi abstract paintings through an intuitively driven process that emphasises the individual's perception of place. She uses colours that the human visual system adjusts when there are changes in illumination, causing every individual to see the colours in her artwork slightly differently.
The individual perception of her art gets distorted by her use of colour, texture and the reflectiveness of materials used. Karlijn’s arts practice concentrates primarily on painting in acrylic and gold leaf on board canvases made by her partner at her studio. Her work lends towards abstract landscape and figurative genres.
