Common Everlasting

January 11, 2023

Low growing clumping herb of woolly silvery foliage and small golden-yellow papery flowers mostly in spring. Found locally in grasslands and woodlands on well drained soils. Plant may die back in dry conditions but re-shoots after rain. Flowers provide an important nectar source for butterflies and attract insect-eating birds.

Ngun Godjin to Melbourne Water staff, who joined us on the wawa Nagambie tour today. As part of the tour we joined in the Aussie Bird Count — Australia’s biggest citizen-science event! We took a moment to slow down, listen, and notice the incredible birdlife that thrives around Tahbilk’s billabongs — a haven for native species.
Each sighting reminds us how caring for Country begins with paying attention.

Birdlife Australia runs an annual Aussie Bird Count to inspire everyone to take notice of our little feathered friends and get familiar with bird movements. As they say, noticing birds is the first step towards caring about them – and where conservation begins.

Today on our wetlands cruise at Tahbilk we took the opportunity to participate in the bird count – Australia’s biggest citizen-science event.

Over 100 species of native birds have been recorded at Tahbilk and during our cruise we spotted:

Australian Pelicans x 6
Black swans x 5
Azure Kingfisher x 2
Cormorants x 8
Dusky Moorhens x 4
Australian Magpies x 4
Scarlet robin x 2
Australian Ravens x 2

Tahbilk are committed to nurturing this remarkable environment. Together with the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, they’ve invested in long-term habitat restoration—from planting native vegetation to fencing out livestock and controlling invasive weeds.

They’ve also installed nesting boxes for wildlife and are managing pest species like foxes and rabbits to give native fauna the best chance to flourish.

Observing life around these billabongs always presents something new and exciting.
