The Golden Wattles (Acacia pycnantha) are starting to bud, pycnantha translates to "dense flowers". Each fluffy ball contains up to 100 individual flowers, that's 500 petals and 1000 stamens making up each fuzz ball!
An important native to the reserve, Australia's national floral emblem and the reason we wear green and gold as our national colours!

Same plant different flowers?!
The drooping Sheoak -Allocasuarina verticillata- is dioecious, meaning it has separate male and female plants. The male with its flower spikes and the female with the fluffy rounded upright flowers ready to turn into seed cones/nuts.

Sunniest place in Camperdown! Early morning on the summit of Mt Leura.
Fog moving so fast it created an eddy on the lee side of Mt Myrtoon (second photo)

The Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia Bicolor) is a poser for sure. Every time we check the trail cams we are flooded with blue steel looks over the shoulder.

Hi everyone --- on Tuesday 24th March our activity will be a presentation by long-term Camperdown resident, Bob Lambell. This FoML activity is a NOT to be missed opportunity if you have an interest in our First Nations people and their local history.
Bob describes himself as an ‘active learner’ on this topic. He is someone who ‘gleans and grasps information’ and cares about First Nations people. Very importantly, Bob is also someone who shares his wealth of knowledge. Lucky us!
The amazing artwork used in the poster was provided by Camperdown Historical Society. It is part of a sketch by William Adeney c1884 of a corroboree at ‘Renny Hill’, Camperdown.
Please note, there is a limit of 30 participants at the VEC – RSVP is ESSENTIAL. Some people did this after our Calendar of activities was sent out so spaces are already filling. Live streaming is also available.
