Welcome to ANGAIR
ANGAIR (Anglesea, Aireys Inlet Society for the Preservation of Flora and Fauna) is dedicated to protecting our indigenous flora and fauna, and to maintaining the natural beauty of Anglesea and Aireys Inlet and their local environments. It was established in 1969 through the influence of a local resident Mrs Edith Lawn. Read more about our achievements over the last 50 years.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the ANGAIR website and will consider joining our Society. If you are interested in the environment, want to learn more about the flora and fauna found in it, and wish to conserve it for future generations, there are lots of different ways you can get involved.
ANGAIR Nature Show 2020 website is live!
We are excited to announce that the ANGAIR Nature Show 2020 is now live! The website is designed to appeal to all ages and walks of life.
Orchids in September
It has been an amazing few weeks in the orchid field, with the promise of so much to come if the weather conditions remain favourable.
My favourite (secret) birding spot
Hiding between a few Prickly Teatree bushes on the edge of Bambra Rd and Distillery Creek picnic ground is a large mud puddle that is a bird oasis, especially in the summer.
Fauna report September
This month, we had the second Leopard Seal stop over at Point Roadknight. The damage to its rear flippers was quite obvious; it stayed only a day on the beach. I do not believe it has been sighted again.
September flora notes
At last spring has arrived with its splendour of colour and promise for the renewal of the bushland.
August flora notes
August is always an exciting month as there can be many unexpected plants in flower.
Orchids in August
As the first of our Helmet Orchids, the Small Helmet Orchid, Corybas unguiculatus, that put on such a great display at Mogg s Creek in late June and early July fades away, we have been eagerly awaiting the flowering of the Veined Helmet Orchid, C. diemenicus, and the Slaty Helmet Orchid, C. incurvus.
Fauna report August
Following on from last month’s report on the male Fur Seal visiting Point Roadknight, this month we have seen two subadult Leopard Seals visiting our beaches, one at Point Addis and the other at the Anglesea river mouth.
