DATABASE - Tamborine Mountain Natural History Association Inc
The following menu is for the New Database under development based on the Current Database linked in the Database dropdown menu above. The new one is approx: 35% complete.
Walking tracks that may be used by NHA members for bushwalking, birding and nature walks.
All users can see additional information on each track by selecting its name or using the right magnify icon on the record. This may include track map, descritive details, photos, videos and other links. TMNHA members may see additional limited access track information when they are logged into the website. NHA members please contact your NHA group leader if you can help complete or correct any of this track data.
Please note that as our NHA is based on Tamborine Mountain, we have broken down what might otherwise have been a region in itself to instead be a number of regions named with "TM -". This helps us with our greater focus on our local locations and tracks. A sketch of the Tamborine Mountain Regions and Locations
This List is in Development so not all data has been completed
Why does attentiveness to nature matter? In a very fundamental sense, we are what we pay attention to. Paying heed to beauty, grace, and everyday miracles promotes a sense of possibility and coherence that runs deeper and truer than the often illusory commercial, social "realities" advanced by mainstream contemporary culture. ... Our attention is precious, and what we choose to focus it on has enormous consequences. What we choose to look at, and to listen to--these choices change the world. As Thich Nhat Hanh has pointed out, we become the bad television programs that we watch. A society that expends its energies tracking the latest doings of the celebrity couple is fundamentally distinct from one that watches for the first arriving spring migrant birds, or takes a weekend to check out insects in a mountain stream, or looks inside flowers to admire the marvelous ingenuities involved in pollination. The former tends to drag culture down to its lowest commonalities; the latter can lift us up in a sense of unity with all life.
