About FOBSW
Preservation of this natural heritage grew out of a campaign by the Waterbird Conservation Group in the late 1980’s, leading to the founding of the Friends group in 1994.
Southern Brown Bandicoot
Our continuing mission is the conservation and restoration of the Brixton Street Wetlands and sharing the rewards of our efforts with the local community. Our group of volunteers are committed to helping maintain the thriving ecosystem which is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna; including the endangered Bandicoot or Southern Brown Bandicoot (Quenda).
Having succeeded in raising awareness about the importance of this area to the community and local government, our group developed a set of management objectives and devised a clear focus that would better understand the importance of the claypans, the flora, the animals and the bird habitat in the region. Restoring the area to a state that is as natural as possible has been the mission of the friends and accomplishing this is a testament to the support and tireless efforts of the many individuals who have supported our cause over the years.
