Ralph Illidge Sanctuary Naringal

Ralph Illidge Sanctuary Naringal Bequeathed by the Estate of Ralph Illidge in 1975, the reserve is one of the earliest properties acquired by Trust for Nature. https://gofund.me/12ccd8445

Many different animals and plants live in the reserve with a number of threatened species having been recorded. One of the earliest reserves acquired by the Trust for Nature, the original property was bequeathed by the Estate of Ralph Illidge in 1975. He originally named it "Bimbimbi" meaning 'many birds'. The property is managed by the Friends of Ralph Illidge Sanctuary and the reserve is home to

many endangered species, some of which can only be found at the sanctuary! These special inhabitants include the Long Nosed Potoroo, the endangered Powerful Owl, the rare and unusual Dwarf Silver Wattle, as well as rainforest species which are not seen in the surrounding cleared farmland, making this a sanctuary for enjoying the ambiance of the forest. This is a magical part of south-west Victoria run by volunteers on the skint of an oil rag. We encourage you to visit and soak up the magical sights, sounds and peace of this space and if you have the means, to donate so we can continue to protect the sanctuary from invasive flora and fauna and maintain the property so it can remain open to the public.
