ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Ku-ring-gai is named after the Guringai peoples. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is the earliest reserve established primarily for nature conservation and contains an exceptional representation of the Sydney region biota. The place contains a complex pattern of 24 plant communities, including heathland, woodland, open forest, swamps and warm temperate rainforest. This diversity includes an outstanding representation of the species that are unique to the Sydney region, particularly those restricted to the Hawkesbury Sandstone landform.

Harry Wolstenholme, lawyer and ornithologist, was a trustee of Ku-rin-gai Chase National Park.
