Sunday 16 August
Upcoming Working Bee:
What’s happening: Rescheduled planting (note different time to our usual second saturday of the month)! After holding on to and nurturing our seedlings for two months, we're finally ready to plant them at the Cassia Street reserve in the areas that had been cleared of tecoma and where Ausnet have installed a new power pole.
Meet at: Meet half way up Cassia Street where we cleared last year (east side of road) at 9:00am. Stragglers are always welcome later in the morning.
Note: The terrain here is a more forgiving but sturdy shoes appropriate clothing for the weather. The area of the power pole can be a bit muddy so gum boots are recommended. We can provide gloves and digging equipment but please feel free to bring your own. Lunch will be provided courtesy of CPRRA.

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER
Temperatures are rising but the rain continues. Flax-lilies are flowering.
Pied Currawongs call loudly and often. The flowering of plants such as Myrnong, (Yam Daisy), indicates the tubers are ready for eating. Bulen-bulen (Superb Lyrebird) males have finished displaying. Days and nights are of equal length.
"You get a frog and tie his back legs and then put a great big cod hook . . . And you'd have to put a weight. Otherwise you'd see the frog back on the log . . . You'd catch a codfish that way." Martha Wandin Nevin, 1969.
