“A parting gift to earth.” Angelika Erpic
Walawaani Way is located in the rolling hills of Bodalla on the South Coast of NSW. Bodalla is a historical village and has been under the stewardship of Yuin people for thousands of years.
The village and area have some of the oldest landmarks on the South Coast, such as the All Saints Church built in 1880. It is only a 2.5 hours’ drive from Canberra and 4.5 hours from Sydney. Bodalla is surrounded by some of the most intact native forests in the region and is home to large flocks of parrots including the spectacular Ngaral - black cockatoo.
The conservation natural burial is an 18ha site with magnificent views. It adjoins bushland harbouring Spotted Gums (Corymbia Maculate) some of which are around 300-350 years old. This is a place where families and friends gather for ceremonies before and/or after the natural burials. Native trees are planted to replace headstones and create habitat for endemic wildlife.
The main species of conservation is the Glossy Black Cockatoo and 285 Allocassurina Littoralis (Black She-Oak) have been planted for this magnificent parrot.
The Eurobodalla Koala Project has planted 120 trees as a corridor for the Koalas who reside nearby in the Bodalla State Forest. A wildlife crossing is planned over the highway so the Koalas can gain access to the conservation burial.
The management of the transformation of the site has been undertaken by Ben and Fiona with collaboration with the traditional owners who will also regenerate the area back to endemic forest.
