Extensive
indigenous regrowth has colonized
the great variety of niches at the
former municipal quarry at Mt
Martha. Massive impoverishment and
occupation of the terrain outside
the quarry now leaves the quarry as
a refuge for indigenous plants
and animals. Its vegetated
cliffs complement Port Phillip's
rugged coastal scenery here, and it
provides a variation of environment
from the remaining blanket spread of
buildings, very much better than
proposed building developments, with
their roofs, walls, windows,
roadways and lights would. |
