Happy Hour at Nakurami Kondoli

A great turnout and some nice weather ensured that this month’s Happy Hour was a great success, a time to enjoy catching up with Rotary friends and to read the newly completed signage around the Whale lookout – Nakurami Kondoli. It is the perfect place to start or conclude your coastal walk while learning about the Aboriginal heritage of this amazing place and the whales and other aquatic creatures which live in the surrounding ocean.

NEW Hindmarsh River Trail Project

New Project: Revegetation of Section of Hindmarsh River trail

Rotary Victor Harbor has been successful in gaining a Grass Roots Grant from the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board to:

  • Clear weeds and pest animals from an identified section of the bank of the Hindmarsh River.
  • Revegetate with native plants
  • Monitor the bird and invertebrate population in this section, particularly the endangered Black Chinned Honeyeater
  • Provide enhanced habitat area for the Black Chinned Honeyeater by planting preferred plants
  • Rotary volunteers will provide ongoing monitoring of the health of the native vegetation, including watering and weeding

This grant will fund the purchase of the native plants and some weeding.

The members of Rotary Victor Harbor will provide the labour and enthusiasm to make the Hindmarsh River trail a wonderful experience of interaction with the native fauna and flora of our region for locals and visiting walkers.

It is anticipated the project will be completed by July 2021.

Tree Planting at Geoff Walker Reserve

On Saturday 25th July 2020, 14 members of Victor Harbor Rotary attended at the Geoff Walker Reserve, Joy Street, Encounter Bay and planted over 300 trees, shrubs and native grasses to supplement the plantings that members have planted over the past three years.  Most of the earlier plantings have progressed well. Lee, from City of Victor Harbor spoke of the work our club has carried out and it is most appreciated.  Members will be asked during the year to water the new plants.  This project is one of many small community projects that the club has carried out. Report by Brian Liddy, Project Coordinator.

Rotary Victor Harbor members plant new trees and shrubs to continue establishing the Geoff Walker Reserve in Encounter Bay – 25 July 2020
