Working Bee – 08.12.2024
Another productive working bee today. I was originally thinking of removing the lantana in a linear fashion but I noticed the bower bird fly off when I arrived at the site so I decided to keep a distance from it’s bower (the structure on the ground). Strangely, it was a female that flew off while … Continue reading Working Bee – 08.12.2024

Preparing for next week’s planting
More plants on the way – 2024
I’ve just been informed that the Lake Macquarie landcare nursery has 40 or so plants that would be suitable for the Dick’s creek site.

A few hours of picking on fishbone fern was very worth while

The ground gets regular soakings which makes removing plants like fishbone fern far easier and more effective as more of the roots are pulled up with the plant. My focus is still on getting the tracks in better shape. I started once … Continue reading Working Bee – 03.11.2024
Working Bee – 26.10.2024
A quick session today as other commitments call. My focus is once again to make some more usable tracks. My intention is to get things to the point where I can walk to most areas throughout the reserve without have to hack or climb my way there. Just like the last few weeks, my first … Continue reading Working Bee – 26.10.2024
