Sharyn was a brilliant, strategic and tireless advocate for the creation of the Dharawal, as well as for numerous other environmental causes. We went to O’Hares Lookout and listened to heartfelt speeches while taking in spectacular views, followed by a picnic lunch at Minerva Pools near a fast flowing waterfall and creek.Sharyn’s amazing work will be continued into the future, by individuals and organisations which campaign on issues close to her heart, such as opposing land clearing, stopping the expansion of coal and gas mines, protecting the Georges River, and saving the koala and other endangered wildlife.πŸŒ³πŸ¨πŸ’§ See MoreSee Less

The native vegetation is thriving. But so are the exotics (weeds!), e.g., Ehrharta, Bromus, milk weed and many others which filled eight large bags. The welcome mid morning tea break was only surpassed by the supportive comments from passers-by. See MoreSee Less
