Volunteer Work
Wellington Park Bushcare Group Erica Follow up Breakneck, New Town and Pottery Sites at Wellington Park on Tuesday 13 Jan 09 Three sites were checked as part of a follow up of previous work. The New Town site near the powerlines had a reasonable number of seedlings and all were removed, whilst the Breakneck site which was cleared during 2002 and 2003 had very few plants; a very encouraging sign. Close by at the end of the Pottery access track seedlings and reshooting Erica at the Envirofund site was cleared along with plants of a substantial size growing on the lower side. In addition thistles and Elderberry were removed from near the waterhole at the top McRobies lower track. The day was quite warm but some shade was provided by trees, but conditions were hot by the time we reached the cars on the return. If you are interested in helping click for more information
Damage from Rising Sea Levels
Sue and I have been visiting Freycinet Peninsula for over 30 years and are astounded by the damage over the last few years to Bryans and Cooks Beaches from rising sea levels. Only a short few years ago this tree was well back from the beach on a bank ending at about the very edge of the photo. It slumped and has stayed upright where it fell. At about this spot about 7 years ago Sue and I sat under probably this very Sheoak to eat our tea. Parts of both beaches have a quite flat foreshore that offer little resistance to the high tides undercutting the land at the top of the beach.
