Feature story – September 2025

The watchers of Koi Kyenunu-ruff
DR KARLENE BAIN, a wildlife ecologist with nearly three decades of experience, is joyously at home in the bush. Picture her striding and climbing among the peaks and gullies of Koi Kyenunu-ruff (the Stirling Range) as she researches its ancient Cataxia spiders. With reverence, Karlene shares her deep knowledge of these small creatures that have a massive story to tell.
