Casuarina Sands

Correa reflexa in flower along the track to Bulgar Creek.  Some plants with red and yellow flowers, some light green.




Occurrence of fasciation in a stem of  Bursaria spinosa.  this is the first example I've seen in Bursaria, having previously seen fasciation only in soft weeds like Plantain Plantago lanceolata.



Plenty of dead River Oaks Casuarina cunninghamiana from the 2003 fires, still a striking sight along the river.


View south along Murrumbidgee River, cleared grazing land on left and Bullen Range on the right.
