Another cubby

While weeding watsonias, Dorothy and I thought we might do a little seed collecting (hardenbergia) - without much success - then Dorothy checked out the sites where contractors had removed mounds of soil a few years ago - some are regenerating well, others are a bit weedy.

At one of these sites, just beside the path, we found that someone has constructed a cubby house by putting branches on top of 3 balgas.

A visit to the other side

John and I worked on the Health Department area - mainly pulling out Geraldton Carnation Weeds near the Selby Lodge area.

Life and death in the bushland

We came across a jewel spider (Austracantha minax) and a fly locked in mortal struggle during our search for Geraldton Carnation weed. Also removed some Fountain Grass and Flinders Ranges Wattle.

Later on we moved into the Watsonia patch - which still has remnants of Watsonia - need to keep a watch on it. Came across a Persoonia saccata in flower.

Hopping around

We continued with our Geraldton Carnation Weed crusade ... will it ever end?

Came across this grass hopper (or whatever!) - very pretty.

Still with the GCWs - a never-ending story!

Whilst on our 'search and destroy GCW's' mission we came across this patch of agave in flower ...

Took out some long-tubed painted ladies growing in and around the Agave, then continued on with our GCW hunt. It is depressing finding so much more of the stuff.

Nasty infestation!

Just when John and I thought we were getting on top of the Geraldton Carnation Weeds we came across quite a nasty infestation ... will need to come back a few times to watch this one.
