Parks Australia -- Bush Blitz
BushBlitz at Credo Station, Western Australia.
A swag of new species including spiders, true bugs and native bees were among the discoveries made when a team of scientists went prospecting at Credo Station in the Western Australian goldfields during September 2011.
It was all part of a nationwide biodiversity discovery program — Bush Blitz — a partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton and Earthwatch Australia to document the plants and animals across Australia's National Reserve System.
It was the first comprehensive survey conducted on Credo Station, a former pastoral station that is now managed by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation as part of the National Reserve System.
