The State Government has announced that one of the developments in this area will be a $350 million interstate freight terminal for the Donnybrook/Beveridge area, an initiative of its "Freight Futures" strategy (external link). |

A successfull survey was held on Saturday 6th December 2008 for our critically endangered Golden Sun Moths in the Merri catchment. This was the last of the season's volunteer surveys.
We hope to hold similar surveys next year and take on the challenge of coordinating volunteers with the very weather dependent times that the moths are active . If you are interested in being informed about next year's survey, please contact Brian at MCMC by phone on 9380 8199 or email to:

Brightly coloured Ground Shield Bugs (Choerocoris paganus) are livening up the large Hop Bush (Dodonea viscosa) in MCMC's front garden in East Brunswick. To find out more about these bugs, which have a preference for Hop Bushes, click here (external link). Hop Bush has been extensively planted in revegetation plots along Merri Creek and makes a great garden plant.
