🐾 Meet the quenda – Mandurah's very own environmental engineers!

These adorable marsupials are nature’s underground heroes, turning over up to four tonnes of soil a year as they dig for food. That’s like having a team of tiny eco-excavators helping our bushland thrive! 🌱

Their digging plays an important role in our ecosystem health, spreading seeds, fungi, and nutrients to keep our soils healthy (and even help reduce fire risk)!

You can help protect the quenda by:
🚗 Taking care when driving, especially at dawn and dusk when they’re most active
😺 Keeping cats indoors after dark
🌳 Planting native vegetation to provide habitat and food
🪱 Letting them forage naturally as human snacks can make them sick

Looking after our quenda is a simple way to make a big impact on our local biodiversity, keeping our natural environment healthy, resilient, and full of life 💚

Listening to a Disabled Peoples' Creative writing online symposium, I'm struck by poet Melanie Duckworth. Her work reminds me of a German poem by Gomringer read at Uni. Her theme of stuttering in one reading echoes the silence (schweigen) in his
