The Terrick Terrick National Park north of Bendigo contains the most significant remaining area of the once extensive native grasslands of northern Victoria. It is home to many rare or threatened species such as Buloke mistletoe, Woolly Cloakfern, Bush Stone-curlews, Barking Owls and Greycrowned Babblers.

This sketch was made as the expedition travelled across the plains, on 29th of August 1860. See also a video of the BWEE expedition crossing the plains 150 years later: Re-Crossing the Terrick-Terrick Plains
