Please have a look at this wonderful video, published by PadburyMedia on Youtube. It is an overview of why Perth's banksia woodlands are so important, and why they should be protected from the relentless clearing for urban development that has occurred over the last decade.
Many of the plants and animals in the video are ones that we commonly see on our bushwalks around Ellenbrook. See how many you recognise...
Did you get them all? Here is a short list of some of those flora and fauna.
