Connies swap-card series

Fifteen iconic wildlife species living in the Dandenong Creek catchment (covering Melbourne’s south-east suburbs) are being celebrated in the new Living Links Connies swap-card series.

The Connies is a collective of tram conductors, performers, educators, ecologists and nature lovers who appear at festivals, shows and other events throughout Victoria and beyond. They entertain, educate and inform, creating and distributing beautifully crafted collectable swap-cards that bring environmental, social, historic and cultural themes to your community.

The Living Links series features a wide range of species, from the tiny Dwarf Galaxias, an endangered native fish only 3-4cm long, to the Powerful Owl, Australia’s largest owl with a wingspan up to 140cm.
