A photographic exhibition presenting the stunning, unique beauty of the ‘Wallum’ landscape will be held at the Brunswick Picture House on Thursday December 19.
Organisers say Wallum, located in Brunswick Heads and slated for urban development, is a ‘remnant landscape teeming with biodiversity, is home to species of state and national significance’.
‘It hosts 200-plus year-old scribbly gums, giant banksias, coastal grass trees, and delicate fungi, while supporting a rich array of birdlife and other wildlife. Yet this land faces immense threats from development’.
The opening event begins at 6pm, Wednesday December 18, with the Northern Rivers premiere of Save Wallum, a short film by documentary filmmaker Adriano Pantaleo.
Spirit of the Wallum
The film captures the spirit of the Wallum, the community’s fight to preserve it, and the urgency of the cause.
Learn about the Save Wallum campaign and the Community Land Acquisition Initiative (CLAI), which aims to purchase and safeguard this critical land in perpetuity.
