Let’s hope the Council has plans!

Lots of weeding, and lots of mulching
mulch on the path
we covered that with pine mulch to make
a yellow brick road!
We saw a huge moth
We meet again on Thursday 22nd at 9 am, to continue mulching and weeding, maybe on the other side of the Park.

Bee hotels made at the Picnic
and one made earlier
Council have put in some rocks to stabilise the creek bed and provide stepping stones
and the creek bank has been lined with hessian to stabilise it.

I went to the Park this morning to look at the creeks
Creek on Central St side, the wooden bridge is in the bottom right
A waterfall in the creek! Bridge is in lower left.
I have crossed the bridge.
Falls Rd side, on the path
Falls Rd side, we will have work to do!
A bit further down
The path is under water on the left, the mulch pile is out of shot to the right.
Looking north
Looking west.
Lots to be done.
The day started out as misty
We put out a lot of mulch along the creek line
(note the cedar wattle flowering in the background)
Finally the mist cleared
revealing a much smaller mulch pile.
We weeded a lot of montbretia and honeysuckle and other weeds.
Joe FCD
We had some mulch
which we spread about
We did some planting, and put up some bee hotels .
Bill, one of our long-time volunteers, is moving from the area, so at morning tea we thanked him for all his work over the years.
And there is plenty of work to do – this is part of the Park a few days ago!
Joe FCD
We weeded more agapanthus:
These didn’t last!
We found some orchids
and ended up with a lot of weeds in bags
and a natural piece of bush.
