    This week, Capes Conversations looks up ... up at the vast dark skies above us and we have two experts to explain what we’re seeing in the skies and some easy ways you can appreciate the astronomical objects and auroras that we see here in the South West.

  • Saving the Ludlow
    2026/03/18

    The Ludlow Tuart Forest was once the entry into Busselton, before the bypass was built. It’s now signposted as the scenic route into town and most people miss it. This week, Capes Conversations looks at what makes the Ludlow Forest so special and why it needs community help to regenerate and thrive.

    The Ludlow Tuart Forest is the only tall Tuart forest ecosystem in the world. Once covering more than 110,000 hectares, it has been reduced to just 3% of its original extent. What remains is fragmented, under‑managed, and facing accelerating ecological decline.

    Des Donnolly and Evelyn Taylor are from the Ludlow Tuart Forest Restoration Group and they believe community can regenerate this forest.

    Visit the Group's website for more information on their activities, opening hours and ways you can support them: Ludlow Tuart Forest Restoration Group
