Heartland Journeys

Explore the places | stories | nature
across the Gondwana Link

Kaya! Welcome!

Gondwana Link invites you on a journey through some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth: from tall forests, slender-stemmed mallee and wildflower-rich heath to the world’s largest temperate woodland.

Heartland Journeys can help connect you to part of the world’s oldest continuous culture and deepen your understanding and experience of these living landscapes.

Explore their intricacies and richness: tiny honey possums as pollinators; malleefowl that incubate their eggs in nesting mounds of compost; an incredible variety of plants; and inspiring community successes in restoring ecological health.

On the Deep

Oh, it’s a love story!

From Ian Maley, a long-standing conservationist, outdoor adventurer and businessman, comes a lyrical, wholehearted account of the importance of the Deep River in his life. As he canoes from below Fernhook Falls to Nornalup Inlet, Ian revels in its changing character. Looking after the Deep and other rivers in the beautiful karri country of the far southwestern corner of Australia is deeply significant to him.

It’s also in the April edition of the Southerly Magazine (available in the Great Southern region and Walpole).
