Lismore Rainforest Botanical Gardens
Years of hard work have transformed a once-neglected piece of land in Lismore into a beautiful botanic garden by dedicated contributors, with a focus on rainforest species endemic to the region. This, along with a new Environment Education Centre nestled in the grounds of the garden, was officially opened on World Environment Day. Sharon Shostak attended the opening, along with many primary schools and Dirlgirl.

????????Lismore Castle Garden - Dan the Arborist pt 2/2 | The trees & Leaving Lismore | Ireland Vlog #10
In the second part of the Botanical Gardens, we explore the trees and meadows of the castle. It was a very nice and pleasant trip and for only 8€ entry fee an absolute bargain, eh? It was really late after i visited the castle and i had another 3h to ride to my airbnb. So i left Lismore with a good thought and i put a additional something (as usual) in the end of the video.
Slainte!

Flying Foxes in Australian rainforest
Flying foxes in rainforest remnant, Lismore, Australia. Some call them bats. They have lots of fleas (scratching itches all the time) and they carry diseases like Leptospirosis. And they are noisy, and they smell strong. But gosh they are cute!

Castanospermum Australe or Morteton Bay Chestnut-The Lucky Bean
The genus Castanospermum belongs to the Fabaceae family and has only one species - Castanospermum australe, commonly referred to as the Black Bean or the Moreton Bay Chestnut.
It is native to coastal rainforests and beaches in Australia from around Lismore, New South Wales to the Iron Range, Cape York Peninsula on the Queensland coast and 160 km west to the Bunya Mountains. It grows in moist, fertile, well-drained soils on terraces on the side of mountains or along the banks of rivers and streams. The Black Bean is also found in New Caledonia and Vanuatu. It reaches a height of 40 metres at maturity.
Castanospermum australe is a hardy species that is suited for a wide range of conditions throughout Australia, including Melbourne where it may grow to 8 metres. Full sun is recommended, however shady situations are tolerated, as is light frost. Under cultivation it will develop a dense rounded canopy and reach a height of 8-20 metres with a spread of 4-8 metres. Thus it is an ideal shade tree in parks, resorts and gardens, in addition it has a strong root system, which can be used to consolidate stream banks against erosion.
This is a handsome tree with glossy dark green pinnate leaves and low spreading branches when grown in the open. During October - November, it bears sprays of red and yellow pea-shaped flowers 3-4 cm long, which are partly hidden by the dense foliage. Following flowering in March - May, large cylindrical pods measuring 12-20cm by 4-6 cm are produced. These pods split in two, revealing 3-5 large bean like seeds weighing about 30 grams. The nectar produced by the flowers attracts birds, bats and butterflies.
Propagation of this species is from fresh seed. Germination requires a temperature of 18C - 25C. Sow in large, individual tubes using a mix of 3 parts river sand and 1 part perlite. Transplanting should be done after the first pair of true leaves have formed. Plant the seedling in a bed of thoroughly loosened, moist soil (pH of approx. 5.9 is preferred), mulch around the base of the plant and water regularly. The Black Bean is slow to establish but will respond to liquid fertilizer (NPK), which should be firstly applied 3 months after germination. May occasionally be affected by scale insects and psyllids. Over-watering may cause fungal root rot.
Black Bean also makes an ideal indoor plant, and is widely available in florists and nurseries. Plant the seedlings in a commercial potting mix with slow release fertilizer added. Multiple plantings of 10-15 plants (see photo) will give a good display. It will tolerate low, filtered light to full sun if gradually introduced.
There are a few factors that should be taken into account before growing this species:
* The leaves and seeds are toxic to livestock.
* Due to its extensive root system, it should not be planted within 10 metres of drainage lines, sewers, house foundations, garages or swimming pools.
The Black Bean has also proved valuable as a timber species, it's seeds have been utilized - following extensive preparation as a food by Aborigines and it contains alkaloids which have been shown to have anti-HIV and anti -cancer properties.

15th annual Big Scrub Rainforest day
Twenty years ago the Jephcotts' property at Brooklet was a degraded dairy farm, with just one little patch of remnant rainforest: a gully by the creek where the old farmer dumped his rubbish.

Rusty Harris ROCK THE GATE ~ Lismore 12 May 2012
Rusty Harris appeared, the first of many friendly faces to greet me as I approached Lismore's Riverside Park. We were outside the Memorial Baths as he shared his message The Earth Is To Be A Garden and was on his way to catch an alligator? hehe as we remember water...
Today is the 12th May 2012, it's a Yellow Planetary Seed ... and the seed of the life in the universe is germinating in the people ... Just to think a year ago where we were at Nimbin Mardi Grass with Michael bless his soul: ... Rusty was in the streets of Nimbin pointing us to Murwillumbah on the 14th May ... for the United Community Gathering here: and there's 7 more films from that day United Community Gathering.
