These distinctive
cards depict Australian native plants intertwined with features
of the suburban streetscape.
The photographs
reproduced on these cards are selected from a survey of Australian
native plants in
the Melbourne suburb of
Northcote.
Once the flower
rich land of the Wurundjeri Aboriginal people, this early suburb
of Melbourne, like much of Australian
suburbia,
was
cleared of most vegetation. This original, pristine, grassy
woodland, was quickly
forgotten and replaced by housing, industry and European
plant species.
Now, however,
although once exiled to the bush, many native plants have returned
to our suburbs.These cards record
some
of this
contemporary transformation.
