MANAGEMENT VISION - 500 Possums Conservation Area contains significant areas of dry sclerophyll open forest with small pockets of rain-forest. With its range and habitat types and features such as old hollow-bearing trees, it supports rich biodiversity and a number of threatened species.The one hundred year vision for 500 Possums Conservation area is for there to be a well-managed area containing a diversity of habitats including large old trees, minimal weeds and an abundance of wildlife including threatened species. The Landholder will be able to observe glossy black-cockatoos feeding on the seeds of forest oaks and hear the strange calls of yellow-bellied gliders at night as they glide from their dens in tree hollows to feast on the abundant nectar if the iron-bark and spotted gum forests when they are in flower. There will be a diversity of mammals living amongst the trees including common brush tail possums, gliders and flying foxes. The dense understorey of Johnson's cycads will be thriving.'

This is a rare and affordable rural lifestyle opportunity which has to be seen to be truly appreciated.
