  1. Bunurong Coast By Nikki Kube

  2. The Bunurong marine Park stretches for 17 km along along the South Gippsland Coast from Coal Point (near Cape Patterson) to Wreck Creek (near Inverloch). The name ‘Bunurong’ refers to the local Aboriginal group that have lived in the area for thousands of years.

  3. Biological Isolation The biological isolation component to Australia's uniqueness in flora and fauna refers to the fact that we have been isolated from other countries for so long, so the animals we have here have not evolved the same as similar animals from other countries. So many of the animals that we have in Australia are endemic to this country.

  4. Climate Variation The Bunurong Coast has been effected by climate change, as it makes the sea levels rise and warms the water in the sea. This has had an effect on the marine life in the Bunurong Coast marine park because the inhabitants have had to adapt to different conditions. Fluctuating temperatures in Winter through to Summer also may prove difficult to certain creatures in the marine park if they were not sufficiently equipped to survive these conditions.

  5. Geographical Stability Geographical stability means that Australia is such a stable country because we are not on the edge of any tectonic plates. Therefore we have less volcanoes, earthquakes, and fewer mountain ranges. This has effected the Bunurong coast because there has been less natural disasters to change the landscape, or the habitat of the eco system.
