Chinamans Ck `skink link' a lifetime's project - Environment - News - Mornington Peninsula Leader
VETERAN southern peninsula environmentalist Norm McKinlay has made it his life’s mission to save a rare swamp skink - a small lizard once thought extinct.
“It’s just a beautiful lizard and it’s under so much threat from development,” he said.
Mr McKinlay and fellow volunteers from the Friends of Chinamans Creek group have worked tirelessly on a “skink link” to join remnant vegetation along Drum Drum Alloc Creek with the Tootgarook Swamp and Chinamans Creek in Rosebud West.
“It links in with all the other work we have done at Chinamans Creek over the years,” Mr McKinlay said.
Their hard work paid off when they recently received a $25,000 grant from the Federal Government as part of the Caring for our Country program.
Mr McKinlay said the money would be used for monitoring, surveying, weed eradication, bank stabilisation and tree planting.

Thanks for posting this Nick and bringing it to my attention. I haven't been down there since the drought was in full swing but would love to get back down there and see it with all the rain we have had lately. The photos of it with plenty of water are pretty amazing and it represents a very large tract of freshwater wetland habitat on the peninsula, something which is pretty rare nowadays.

Signed the petition and did some more background reading. Hope others get behind this too.

Signed cobber, good luck.

We just elected a right wing government in the NT yesterday so the battles will come thick and fast for us. The poulation has forgotten the corrupt, ruthless, wallet stuffing mongrels we threw out 11 years ago. Environmental consideration will be zero if there is a cheesy dollar to be had.
