About Friends of Malabar Headland

About Us

Friends of Malabar Headland (FoMH) is a community group formed in April 2000 to protect the natural and cultural heritage of Malabar Headland.  This year (2026) we are celebrating 40 years of bush care, as we began weeding in 1986, prior to the formation of FoMH.

Our group includes people with a wide range of skills including bush regenerators, legal experts, map-makers, botanists, and bird watchers. Above all, we share a love for the bush.

Our Goals

We are committed to working with the community to ensure that the native bush on Malabar Headland is retained in its natural state for future generations to enjoy.

Our vision for Malabar Headland is outlined in our 2002 Proposal for Boora National Park on Malabar Headland – Draft Community Plan of Management (FoMH, 2002).

We achieved the goal of preserving the native bush in the Malabar Headland National Park in 2012 (Western Section) and 2016 (Eastern Section).

Our Business Meetings

We meet at 6 pm on the first Thursday of every second month starting February. Business Meetings are held at Bowen Library, 3rd floor, 669 Anzac Parade (corner of Gale Rd), Maroubra Junction.

Our Social Meetings

We meet at 6.30 pm on the first Thursday of every alternate month starting in January.  Social Meetings are held at Crystal Gardens Chinese Restaurant, 1211 Anzac Parade, Malabar. (BYO; we share the food, split the bill, usually ~$35 pp).

If you are interested in learning about the Headland and FoMH’s activities, you are welcome to come along to a business or a social meeting.  Please notify the Secretary by emailing to:  malabarheadland@gmail.com

Bush Regeneration

We have two volunteer Bush Regeneration groups: One morning weekly in the Eastern Section, and one morning monthly in the Western Section.  We welcome new people who want to find out about bush care.
