Spring is just around the corner, and across the Northern Rivers our wildlife is becoming more active. We are fortunate to share this region with an extraordinary diversity of native animals. Echidnas, wallabies, bandicoots, possums and flying-foxes live alongside rainbow lorikeets, tawny frogmouths, waterbirds, water dragons, blue-tongue lizards and snakes – often much closer to our homes than we realise.
