Eyespot Anthelid Moth (Anthela ocellata) One of the Australian Wooly Bears, an apt name with the adult moths sporting a hair do almost as good as the caterpillar!
A welcome resident of the reserve who eats our grass and feeds our birds and bats. #camperdown3260 #moth #anthelid #ausinsects #hairstyle

Hi everyone .... sorry for the rather late notice for this great upcoming event. Our planned environmental movie night will be held on Tuesday 21st July at the Killara Centre, Camperdown commencing at 7.30pm. Admission is $10 with supper included.
It's a great movie .... multi award winning and one I've seen before but very much looking forward to seeing again.
Please be sure to tell your friends .... and share the post. Hopefully see you there.

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)
