Today a group of volunteers collected, sorted and stored bursaria spinosa seeds and another little group cleaned-up Old-Man lake campground and Freshwater lake carpark. A good day's work!
Bursaria spinosa is commonly known as Christmas Bush. Here is some more information:

Good evening all,
I hope everyone’s week is going very well.
For this Sunday's work session, we’ve got seed collection tasks and I’ve been wanting to get out to Long Gully to do a clean-up. Let's meet at the nursery at 3pm and, depending on the interests of those present, we can split into groups or pick a focus and all go out together!
Hope to see you there. Bring hats, water and friends :)
With many thanks. Roland
Good morning all,
Thanks to everyone that came to the nursery planning meeting last weekend. We made some good progress organizing our approach and priorities.
Just a quick reminder that we’re not meeting up today! I’m working to get Sunday sessions organized a little more in advance, so look forward to a note early in the week mapping out the next month or so.
Good evening all,
Thanks to everyone who came out last Sunday, and thanks to the Men’s Shed for providing the meeting space! We had a great initial discussion regarding a Robe-to-Beachport walking trail and started to pull together a strategy to evaluate the idea and whether it is something we would support as a group. Please send me an email if you're keen to participate in this, and keep an eye out for future updates / meet-ups.
Today we walked and picked up trash from Stonies to West Beach. We also indentified middens and John shared some of his knowledge about middens with us.

Good evening all,
Thanks to everyone who came out last Sunday. The Gums campground and track had a clean-up, we made a big dent in the polygala weed control project nearby, collected some Bursaria Spinosa seed and finished off the day replacing the broken post out at Stoney Rise point.
8 volunteers today headed out with ranger Cath Bell to the Gums campground for weeding polygala, clean-up of campground area and track and replace 2 broken posts.
See below some pictures of the invasive weed polygala. Polygala invades and competes in coastal vegetation.
Good afternoon FOLDers!
We had a great group last Sunday and did a big cleanup of Little Dip Beach and associated track (7 bags of mostly plastic trash!). Thanks everyone!
This Sunday, we'll meet-up at the nursery at 3pm and then head over to the Gums campground for:
- clean-up of campground area and track
- replace 2 broken posts
- look at a polygala control project with Cath
Ten happy volunteers showed up today! A full force to tackle the back beaches under a warm sun for a succesful cleanup sesh! We also fixed one of the posts.
Good morning FOLDers!
I hope your week is going well.
We had a small crew last Sunday (with lots of people busy and away on the long weekend). We were able to hang the new sign at the nursery - thanks Libby and Rinaldo! - and had a nice walk, prune, and clean-up at Fresh Water Lake... what a beautiful spot.
