Turbeskrivelse
Veipunkter

590 m
Old cork wood
This is where I started this managed patch because I’d seen this cork wood burn once and it is very Vulnerable to fire given its location and spreading habit and understory, which was dense buffel. This area is a common place for kids to play with fire/people to light fires

Cork wood and Acacia, top of drain/ ditch
Buffel grows very densely on this slope after rain. These trees are very vulnerable. I weed sprayed the buffel after rain in 2017/8 and late 2018. Whipper snipper would be good in dry times, to remove the rank buffell

Depression next to fire track
Water and seed, soil and nutrients run onto this area after rain. It cdd as n be quite lush, and not just with buffel. There are diverse native grasses here that have thrived from reduced buffel density. On the lower slope behind the soil is rocky, with Witchetty bush, small ironwoods and Supplejack

Acacia murrayana, Colony Wattle
A resilient bush that puts up many stems from suckers. Hasn’t been my priority to protect because of this character. When it’s growing densely, it’s so mixed up with buffel that it’s hard to clear the buffel out. But in dry times buffel could possibly be cleared by whipper snipper

Water pipe corridor
The water pipe to a house and rural block accessed off Undoolya Road was replaced in 2017/2018. This track, used by the construction vehicles, was not revegetated at all. With little rain it’s still bare. I dragged some deadwood over to discourage bikes- the mountain bike track is adjacent. At the start of the pipeline, an old cork wood (left of photo) is a favourite poo place for dogs. Perhaps they like the spikes cork wood leaves on their feet/bum?

Cork wood and ironwoods
This small area has nice sitting rocks; for a rest from weeding.

Acacia kempeana , Witchetty bush
Haven’t cleared the buffel from this one yet; would be good to do in dry times...it’s in a patch of good soil where buffel grows very dense after rain

Mulga
One large Mulga, the only mulga in this part of the bush land. It’s not linked up with the other patches where I’ve cleared buffel, but it’s nearby and I’ve done some clearing and spraying under it because it’s a special tree

592 m
Large ironwood
Cleared away dense buffel because it’s a prominent landscape tree, not contiguous with other cleared patches

589 m
Ironwood and Desert Orange
Adjacent bike track. The ironwood is recovering from previous fire impacts; cleared round it to help its chances. The desert orange was flowering and had fresh growth late 2029, in spite of no rain. Might be loving having no buffel around it. The buffel clearing round these trees is not contiguous with other patches

Desert orange
The euros love this tree. The ground is covered with roo poo. Do they eat the fallen fruit?

592 m
Supplejack
One of many in this area; lovely twisted trees. Not contiguous with other buffel cleared patches, but close, so aiming to join it up
Bilde
590 m
Supplejack and hakea
The managed patch goes over the small ridge in the photo; trying to link the trees in this area with buffel free zone!

590 m
Small ridge with Supplejack
Buffel here has mostly been sprayed when actively growing. Should cut it back in dry times, then spray any regrowth
