2021 and 2019 Aprasia parapulchella survey

The 1.8 hectare Fairlane Fauna and Flora Reserve on River Drive, Fairlane was identified as a habitat for the Pink-tailed Legless Lizard (Aprasia parapulchella). A grant secured in 1995 by Queanbeyan Landcare enabled a Plan of Management to be developed that would protect the population of this threatened reptile.

The Plan detailed the need to conduct ongoing surveys of the area and so once every two years on a day that is not too sunny nor too cloudy, a group of Landcarers complete this survey. The surveys have been conducted since 2002. Tom Baker arranges these surveys, sometimes he works alone at other times members of the group accompany him. There is always lots to see and talk about. Many years ago two Burtons legless lizards were observed.
