Bushcare Hewitts Creek

The Day After There's still some Weed work at Woodlands Ck to be done & I expect we could plant up to half the Lomandra there. Its likely to be warm & humid so the other planting site/s will be shaded, maybe behind the Blady Grass & some in  Manifest Destiny . Aquarians are called to carry some water for these 2 sites....its your month after all. 2024 Giant Black Rabbit Dig out & bag Montbretia which is flowering in multiple locations.  Up around the Woodlands Ck bend a native vine is overgrowing many of our plantings so an intervention is needed there before the next wind/rain storm brings them down (secateurs needed).   Lily hunters with solid digging gear can have free reign either side of the cycleway. 2023 Weed removal Our most recent plantings need weed removal and Japanese Honeysuckle nearby has to be controlled.  There is a second large Moth Vine to be exterminated, Morning Glory is on the march and Lilies are shooting most place...

Flanagans Creek   Bushies, Yes, we have been officially authorised to begin work at Flanagans Creek & I have the documents to prove it, plus a Planning & Inspection Tour with Greg, the head Bushie.  We are part of the New Imperialist Zeitgeist imperilling the Old World Order, and we start tomorrow. Where Are We?  by foot, trudge north along Cliff & The Esplanade, past the Surf Club & on to the creek at the far end of the park. by car/bike use the same route or drive along LHD through Thirroul & turn right at The Esplanade & park in that first stretch or in the northern Surf Club carpark. I will have the Official Bushcare Sign Board. There is some chance locals will want to know what's happening. We are "weeding Invasive species" & hopefully "regenerating local native vegetation". We are NOT "clearing"!!!    I will have the document authorising our work. We will start at the creek end of the area. Expect Morning Glory, A...

Weed On At Woodlands Ck, and the Purple Top through to the Blady Grass area could reward our florists, but Manifest Destiny & the shady weeds there will be the main game. Madeira will be top priority but Cape Ivy, Honeysuckle , Crofton & Cassia also need to be driven back. (2024?) & 2023 New Years Day 2022 Water needed Please bring some water to apply to our December plantings. Reports are that the odd weed has popped up over the last fortnight.
