Likely events As well as the Crofton, Fireweed and Montbretia shooting and flowering, if it rains, even average amount, there will be plenty to do. Turkey Rhubarb will soon flower. 2023 Back to Spring There were a lot of Croftons in flower last week along the Cycleway so it would be good to get them first up. There are also a few small scale weeding jobs waiting, including renewed acquaintance with the Velcro , Asthma & Stonecrop exotics. Choppers and cutters can do some more of each in Manifest Destiny, backed by some painting by a Poisoner. The Ditch may also be close to dry enough for some overhead chopping. Tomorrow is our last 9am start for a while. Mon Oct 2nd is a Public Holiday, but if you don't get an invite to picnic with your favourite Union, Bushcare will be on from 8.30. Mon 9/10 is set down as our WCC Rise & Shine Day when Ross brings all the gear & wins the $ prize for NIRAG. 2022 Weed of the week Trad, Tradescantia fluminensis has got away at ...
Planting tomorrow Most of the sites will be towards Woodlands Ck where salt water isn't a problem so if we all bring a watering can/bottle refills from the shaduf & big container should be pretty efficient. A track making opportunity is now apparent at the far end of Manifest Destiny so Choppers need not despair. 2023 Just smile & nod like normal Here's the list Ian asked Ted to publish: several smaller jobs along the cycleway a bit of watering for the Woodlands Ck plantings Ross! there appear to be Lilies emerging hammer in steel posts with chicken wire to protect the Condon Cedars (& take a nice pic to send them).

High Tides The deluge last Thursday night washed the sand out of Hewitts Creek so the lagoon is now 2 metres lower than it was. That may mean the tidal surge will re-flood areas of Manifest Destiny & Lisa's Site . Won't know until we get there tomorrow but as all the low parts of our site were wet on Friday afternoon & Woodlands Creek was still 30 metres wide we'll have to make most of it up as we go tomorrow. Inspecting back of beach will be the first task. The safest bet is to start along the higher & drier Western Edge areas, like Stony Rd , behind the Blady Grass, up the dirt track & across to Andrews Amnesia. Secateurs & bags best for these areas. Brave souls can skirt Lake Zaremba and trust Bruce's rehabilitation of the Gillette Bridge over the Ditch because Madeira Vine is threatening over by the creek & Lisa's Site needs further work.
