Book Review Days of Innocence and Wonder by Lucy Treloar Australian author Lucy Treloar tells the moving story of Till, who is haunted by her childhood friend’s abduction. As she tries to rebuild her life in a small town, she faces her past fears. Treloar’s writing beautifully captures Till’s journey of healing and self-discovery set against the backdrop of real-world events including the pandemic. Library News BY PETE KASBY In November 2023, Costa and the Gardening Australia team featured a group of inspiring locals in Sydney’s North West determined to solve a key challenge for many volunteer wildlife rehabilitators - the availability of native food. Did you know that an adult Common Brushtail Possum requires around 2 kilograms of fresh green foliage every night while in care? Growing Food For Wildlife began when wildlife rehabilitators faced an influx of wildlife needing rescue and care. Sourcing food for these animals while in care can be a real challenge and many volunteers spend hours each week looking for and trimming street trees for foliage and flowers. The Growing Food for Wildlife project has been a huge success and continues to expand through new partnerships with local councils and volunteer groups across Sydney. Naremburn Matters is delighted to report that Growing Food For Wildlife is now also partnering with Willoughby City Council and Willoughby Bush Care, right right here in Flat Rock Gully. Drop in every fourth Saturday of the month from 10am to 1pm and help grow food for sick, injured and orphaned native animals in the care of local wildlife rescue groups. The monthly working bees are highly rewarding, Food for Wildlife comes to Flat Rock Gully and a terrific opportunity to learn about native gardening, local plant species, local wildlife and to have a laugh and connect with neighbours and local wildlife rehabilitators.
