Objects of Substance- Rangakarra Birds & Butterflies Signage

In 2018, the information was enhanced with a poster of thirty-nine species of frog from the Brisbane area added to the shelter containing images of the birds and butterflies. In 2016, a special project to provide plants for the Richmond birdwing butterfly was instigated. This is the largest Australian butterfly of the subtropics. It was formerly common in the area and attempts are now underway to return it to its former glory. The Richmond birdwing lays its eggs on only one vine species, the Pararistolochia praevenosa. This vine is difficult to grow and requires support until it ascends into the canopy of other plants.

Mr Aaron Bowden, Facilities Manager at Girls Grammar, organised for the construction of two rows of seventy-two support structures in preparation for planting and nurturing of this vine.
