Biodiversity Gallery

The Biodiversity Gallery is located beside Stargazer’s Cafe as you enter the centre. In it you can see some of our local mini beasts (in some cases not so mini) and plants close up -  some you can examine under a microscope.

The gallery is undergoing constant updating. In 2009, with the help of 18 enthusiastic Curtin University Volunteers, the gallery experienced a colourful redecoration!

As we expand and develop our biodiversity program, the gallery will become and increasingly important part of the GDC and the education we provide.

During the September 09 school holidays, we took visiting children out into the bush on mini beast hunts. Our science presenters encouraged them to investigate under rocks and tree trunks to find mini beast hiding spots. Some of the specimens that were discovered and caught are on display in the gallery.
