Friends of Melaleuca WILDCARE
Where we work
Melaleuca is an area of both natural and cultural interest within the South West Conservation Area, in far south west Tasmania. There are no roads, and access is by light aircraft, boat or on foot.
In January 2009 Melaleuca was permanently registered on the Tasmanian Heritage Register. The listed site includes the homestead, garden and outbuildings of tin miner and resident, the late Deny King (1909 - 1991); as well as the bushwalkers hut, bird observatory, representative sample of tin mine, mooring and channel markers.
What we do
Our group aims to assist with reserve management to protect the natural values and cultural heritage of Melaleuca, while retaining the essential spirit of the place.
We aim to undertake practical projects involving general maintenance work on heritage listed buildings as well as Parks and Wildlife Service structures, tracks drainage and so on.
First we need to raise funds in order to realise these aims.
Friends of Melaleuca - WILDCARE formed in March 2009. We are keen to hear from other WILDCARE members who wish to contribute to the care of Melaleuca
