Wildflower walkers

NATIVE WILDFLOWER WALK

This Sunday, Valerie Atkinson and I led  a group of people for a native wildflower walk along the track from Girrahween to Turrella. We began with an introduction to the diversity in shape and size of flowers and leaves, essential for identification.  Then we looked at Family – Genus- Species identifying which twigs belonged to  the Family of Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Angophora or Syncarpia.
 
We looked at the 5 month regeneration that has happened since the controlled burn in April, then walked around the oval and the path to Turrella, spotting and identifying plants.  There was  lots of discussion and cross-pollination of information between us. 
 
Most of us had walked the track before but those who had not were amazed at the bat camp – most of the bats were asleep and not very active – but smelly and noisy. A delight for the senses. After we reached  Turrella the group went their separate ways and others climbed Nannygoat Hill.

Walk in the Wolli Creek Regional Park from Bardwell Park to Tempe

Would you like to find out more about the Wolli Creek Valley Walking Track? This will be a leisurely Saturday morning bush walk from Bardwell Park to Tempe along the Wolli Creek Valley Walking Track. We will be starting at 9am sharp. This is a 3.5km walk designed for those who would like to see the Wolli Creek Valley at a leisurely pace.

The walk is almost entirely on unmade and uneven surfaces but is mostly level walking tracks although some areas may be eroded and/or be crossed by tree roots and require extra care to be taken. There are some minor ascents and descents, particularly the rocky ways up and down Nannygoat Hill but this is optional. You need to wear good walking boots or shoes, with a good gripping sole – sandals and thongs are absolutely not good enough.

Your walk leaders are volunteers with the Wolli Creek Preservation Society (WCPS). They will share their knowledge of this bushland, its cultural and environmental history, as well as information about the current issues facing the Wolli Valley and the bush regeneration (Bushcare) work the Society is undertaking.

This walk is free for members of the Wolli Creek Preservation Society, and bookings are required. If you are not currently a member, your ticket fee covers the cost of membership to the WCPS. Go to https://wollicreek.org.au/supp…for more information about membership.

This walk is not suitable for children under 10 years of age and all young people up to 17 years must be accompanied by an adult.
