Objects of Substance- Rangakarra Birds & Butterflies Signage

One of two s upport structures for the Richmond birdwing butterfly.

The project encountered a number of serious setbacks. Severe sunlight in a dry period took its toll on some of the earlier plantings. Then, the property was flooded twice. A watering system was installed from the creek. When the vines were not doing well, a water test showed that it was too saline. These challenging problems, however, were not insurmountable. Today, we see one of the support structures flourishing, and it is hoped that the environment for this species of butterfly will follow suit.
