Bushcare Hewitts Creek

 New Survey Those areas into which we have not recently been went feral in our absence.  Lisa's Littoral, Manifest Destiny & Andrew's Abomination were each disappearing under a weed wave that will gladden the blades of the Choppers, encourage the Cutters and tweak the imaginations of the Unravellers. Bags & Secateurs+ required.  Some bravery may be required to cross "the Moat" but more genteel work is available amongst our more secretive ground cover weeds south of Gillett Bridge . 2022  Blackberry problem  Much to do on several fronts and choppers still in demand. Much more morning glory but also Blackberry in the Blady Grass area and Bidens galore where the morning glory ends and across to the Stony Road.   It should be dry enough to get the Coolatai et al beside Woodlands Creek. There's also some planting rescue to be done beside McKellar Glade.

  Jobs to do The temperature will feel like 5 degrees. So rug up and look to work on the most sheltered sites. Four Crinum lilies had been destroyed & others hacked nearby, so a tidy-up may be needed. Keep a lookout, a very healthy Red Bellied Black Snake was sighted last week in the grassy area west of McKellar Glade 2022 weed of the week - Coolatai Grass 2022 Five pressure points: Morning Glory & Blackberry in the Blady Grass area, with cut & paint on Blackberry* if it stays dry. Coolatai Grass is up & setting seed beside Woodlands Creek with Bidens & Cassia are also rampant Morning Glory is thriving between the beach & the cycleway just south of the Hewitts Creek bridge Condons Corner area has Morning Glory, Bidens, Turk & some rubbish to deal with Plantings rescue is needed south of the Blady Grass, in the SE corner & along the Stony Road. Should any choppers be available there is maximum choppage to be had along the Stony Road. See also:
