Now that the rain has arrived at last, unwanted weeds are coming up as well as wanted green growth, so Bimblebox Nature Refuge needs volunteer weeders right now!  Weeding is essential to keep Bimblebox’s iconic native grassland in the good condition that makes it a refuge for wildlife year-round.

We are looking for volunteer weeders who are willing to put in a full two week stint (or more if you wish) to help retain native species on the Nature Refuge. We’re 1,000 km north west of Brisbane in Qld. Return ticket by train or bus to Alpha, food and accommodation on Bimblebox or its sister property provided.

Check out our Volunteer page  and send us a request (bimblebox@gmail.com). THANKS!

As we are not planning to let Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal dig up the glorious biodiversity of Bimblebox, caring for this must continue while we fight on. The introduced plants/weeds cannot be allowed to overwhelm the less aggressive native species that provide food and habitat. Fostering the latter is a long ongoing plan, with far more ‘in perpetuity’ protection in mind than the government apparently had!
