MD Woodpile Cut up & distribute the Manifest Destiny woodpile. There's more cut & paint of Privet, Olive & Cassia on the east edge of  Manifest Destiny . Morning Glory is starting to climb along the west side of the cycleway in the forest area. Honeysuckle &  Morning Glory need work south of the dirt track, towards the  Blady Grass . Maintenance weeding would be timely at our 3 most recent planting areas even though 2 of them are west of the survey line. 2023 Rules of Operation under review 2022 Jobs list Lisa's site - cutting back the reeds et al to restore our track, plus a wiry old Cassia on the creek edge at Manifest Destiny ; SE Corner - Morning Glory in flower & some more Cape Ivy ; Andrew's Area needs another attack...its an encyclopedia of weeds; Check the fallen Banksia area behind Steve's Beach where our plantings are under siege. 2021 Weed of the week Purple Top   A fair bit of rescue work from grass growth needed at Condons Corn...
