We’re excited to announce that we have recently won a Transurban community grant to build Yedabila habitat pods for Waatji pulyeri (Superb Fairy-wren) at Sandridge Beach, Port Melbourne.
“Yedabila” means animal in the Yorta Yorta language whilst Waatji pulyeri features in Dreamtime stories as the little one of the lignum bush. These little birds were traditionally known as messengers and story carriers. They were also signs of joy and changes in seasons. Our project offers a unique opportunity learn about Aboriginal cultural heritage while also directly involving the local community volunteers in habitat creation.
