As a member of the Birdlife Great Western Woodlands (GWW) project I have led bird surveys through the range and the surrounding conservation park. The GWW is a largely intact woodland of immense size. It forms a refuge for many species of birds now rare or locally extinct elsewhere. The Helena & Aurora Range is an especially valuable part of this ecosphere.
An earlier proposal to mine this range (Yes – to turn it into an open pit mine!) was rejected by the EPA. This decision was overturned by the minister and a re-submission of the mining proposal is currently before the EPA.
See what the range is all about at https://youtu.be/RUpIcxeqLIA produced by an organisation dedicated to preserving the range.
