Friends of North Lake, Beeliar Regional Park,
Perth, Western Australia.

North Lake plant photographs.

Friends of North Lake (which is just south of Murdoch University and surrounded by suburbia),  are a tiny band of locals who are prepared to put some time in as Volunteers towards improving the natural environment of this small corner of the Beeliar Regional Park.  Activities have included weeding, plant surveys, seed gathering and planting.
Contact Neil Goldsborough through Murdoch Uni Environment Dept.  if you are interested in helping in any capacity.
Brief notes by Neil on North Lake.
Locality Map showing where we are on our planet.    More detailed map from Cockburn Council web site  Shows our area in pale green bounded by Progress Drv, Farrington Rd, Bibra Drv and Hope Rd. Also shows proposed Roe Highway extension cutting through North Lake bush, which is being opposed by Cockburn Council.
Wayne Needham has been taking photographs, mainly of flowers to date and there are more photos to scan and post.
Warwick Hughes has scanned these and set up this basic web site in 2002 which aimed first to have photographs of all North Lake plants easily accessible.
As of May 2004  WSH noticed the first web site on Geocities was not working so has replaced the site here.
Old 2002 front page
Other aspects of North Lake environment and wildlife may be portrayed later if new material is sent in.
