Guide for Pearl Beach environment
Pearl Beach resident Ms Christine O'Brien has written and designed an environmental guide based on the flora and fauna found in Pearl Beach.
With sponsorship from Pearl Beach General Store and Cafe owners John and Annie Karbowiak, Ms O'Brien created the Pearl Beach Environmental Guide to help locals and visitors enjoy and treasure the hidden and obvious natural gems of the area.
"Ever wondered what those colourful blue-eyed birds are, or what to grow to attract them to your garden?" Ms O'Brien said.
"What about the best fire-resistant native plants?
The guide consists of local history, geological facts, environmental issues, information about local species as well as an extensive wildlife calendar that maps out which wildlife can be found throughout the seasons.
Pearl Beach locals and visitors to the area can acquire their own guide at the Pearl Beach Cafe for $5.
Ms O'Brien said she has collected the information for the guide over the last four years, drawing upon her 35 years of experience within the field of environmental education and communication to help her along the way.
