The threat of urban encroach upon ecological communities is real and keenly felt, evidenced by the “less than 1%,” of Melbourne’s volcanic plains grassland that remains (Repair, 2018), and the distinct lack of mid-storey habitat in our urban greenspaces, recorded as uniquely supporting 127 insect

Australian national identity is inextricably linked to landscape. The bush engenders the essence of Australiana; its ruggedness, hardship and beauty have become fetishized in our national psyche. Matched only by our mania for carving up that very land to buy and sell in pursuit of the “Australian dream”. Lake Eyre vs backyard cricket, Kakadu vs a summer barbecue, as fantasy and reality the two ideas harmoniously coexist in Australian culture despite their glaring contra-

dictions and as all the while one is consumed by the other. “The Australian Ugliness begins with the fear of reality,” Robin Boyd (1960) argues that inherent in Australianism is “the sense of nature being greater than man,” furthering the idea that “beyond the suburbs everywhere is the outback,” and suggesting that deep felt exaltation gives rise to the arbitrary prettiness and decoration in our built environment he has coined “featurism.” “Urban sprawl,” an elitist
