The Emerald Fringe is the area of land around Coochiemudlo Island’s entire shoreline. This area was part of the Island’s historical survey from 1885 - 1962 as an esplanade. We want to keep it this way.

In 2006, several Bushcarers began collecting examples of both native and introduced island flora, and preserving them by the traditional process of pressing out the moisture and mounting them for safe-keeping and display.

Chronicles of Coochiemudlo was published in 1993 but it's still the most comprehensive anthology of thoughtful writing about our island.
