An enchanting mini-landscape!

We’re captivated by these photos of the Mulloon landscape model! Master craftsman Gary McGuigan has nearly finished this mammoth task. There’s a reticulated water system, spongey floodplain inserts and tiny magnetised components that can be added and removed. Gary’s talent for simulating landscape features with intricate materials (and the handy Dremmel) is off the charts.  

The model will be showcased at our upcoming Mulloon Rehydration Conference (details and tickets here). After that we’ll be touring it for some special events, including the NSW Geography Teachers’ Association conference later in May. We’re looking forward to everyone having a tinker, and meeting Gary in person as well.  

This project has been supported by the Australian Government through Citizen Science Grant funding.
