Gatton creek frontage

See also: wood-duck-meadows

About a half-acre of largely ignored eucalypt woodland running between the main driveway and Gatton Creek. An ad hoc small collection of scrub trees in a largely grassy area spread between some "suburban" shrubs and the slowly encroaching lantana, madeira vine and other weeds climbing up the creek bank.

Initial intent is to clean it up and transform it into something far more native and enjoyable. Perhaps a dry-rainforest?

History#

Initial work started in November 2024 with the removal of a long section of agave that had taken over the top of the creek bank. From a positive perspective, the agave has probably slowed down the spread of lantana and madeira-vine. Initial agave removal completed on Xmas day 2024.

Late December 2024 discovered wombat-berry.
