Welcome to Riddells Creek
Beautiful 'Barrm Birrm' rises out of the
flat Volcanic Plains in the foreground
Riddells Creek is 50km NW of Melbourne, where the
flat basalt
plains meet the foothills & forest of the Macedon Range. Grassland, heathy dry forest, riparian woodland and herb-rich
foothill forest give rise to amazing flora & fauna biodiversity and
magnificent
wildflower displays. It is our
goal to conserve and improve our area for this and future generations. National Park Plant Lists on NatureShare.org.au
If
you are venturing across Victoria, you might want to
visit some of the national parks listed below. Clicking on each link will take
you to NatureShare's list of species and photos for that park.
Parks are grouped by Catchment Management Authorities to help you orient
yourself. Once in a NatureShare collection you can look at its individual map. (graphics by Colleen Miller, WMCN)|
