Albury's Biodiversity Hotspots - Wonga Wetlands
As part of the Edge Pledge Campaign run by Albury Conservation Company I pledged to make five videos on Albury's significant environmental areas to support the Squirrel Glider in Thurgoona. Unfortunately the Squirrel Glider is under threat within the Thurgoona area with loss of habitat a major contributor to the decline of this beautiful species
Wonga Wetlands is a unique wetland system that tries to recreate the natural flows of the floodplains that have been lost through river regulation. The wetlands is a sanctuary for many species of birds that are not found anywhere else within the Albury area. Wonga Wetlands is a must see destination when you stay in Albury to experience the spectacular wildlife and stunning views.

- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The Mornington Peninsula is a peninsula located south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is surrounded by Port Phillip to the west, Western Port to the east and Bass Strait to the south, and is connected to the mainland in the north. Geographically, the peninsula begins its protrusion from the mainland in the area between Pearcedale and an area south of Frankston. The area was originally home to the Mayone-bulluk and Boonwurrung-Balluk clans and formed part of the Boonwurrung nation's territory prior to European settlement.
Much of the peninsula has been cleared for agriculture and settlements. However, small areas of the native ecology remain in the peninsula's south and west, some of which is protected by the Mornington Peninsula National Park. In 2002, around 180,000 people lived on the peninsula and in nearby areas, most in the small towns on its western shorelines which are sometimes regarded as outlying suburbs of greater Melbourne; there is a seasonal population of around 270,000.The peninsula is primarily a local tourist region, with popular natural attractions such as the variety of beaches both sheltered and open-sea and many scenic sights and views. Other popular attractions include the various wineries, mazes and the diverse array of water sports made available by the diversity of beaches and calm waters of Port Phillip and Western Port. Most visitors to the peninsula are residents of Melbourne who camp, rent villas and share houses or stay in private beach houses.
