It's #TSBakeOff time! This year's entry is a Mallee Striated #Grasswren. These beautiful #threatenedspecies are declining from drought, fire and habitat clearance. The #cake base is a native spice gingerbread, with plumage created from a mix of sliced dried fruit and coconut.

The Eltham Copper Butterfly inspired this year’s entry to the #TSBakeOff from our team at #ArthurRylahInstitute. This stunning 28-cake collage reminds us that conservation action is a collective effort 💚 #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay #BiodiversityMonth @TSCommissioner
