English: Dearest Residents of the Maribyrnong Council, I would like to convince you to start protecting your local eco system the Iramoo grassland located in St. Albans. This eco system includes many forms of grass, lily and daisy, bandicoots, rats, lizard/ skink, bird, snake. All households should look at growing their own herbs, and us being self sustainable whilst these are introduced species into our native eco system I would consider herbs them to be a necessary part of our diet/ food chain within the family household. I see an opportunity in introducing more native plants within the garden such as the lily, daisy and wallaby grass that are all more tolerant to the climate and weather conditions. These also provide food and nourishment to our native herbivores such as the bird and some insects. Thus providing one step in the food chain. Introduced species of plants eg. the African boxthorn that are not native to Australia bring with them their diseases that could affect our native plants and upset the eco system and in turn, the food chain. With our country being a drought affected and very reliant on water we need to ensure that we always keep in mind when planting out a garden that we need to do it with the upmost for thought of incorporating as many native fauna as these are more often less reliant on large rain fall and more akin to the weather conditions of the country.
