Hurst Road bird walk
Despite the bad weather forecast, a willing group of 10 hardy birders set out for Pru Acton's property in Hurst Road.
Eumeralla nature walk
Despite the threat of rain we had a pleasant walk following the Wildflower Track designated on the newly erected signs for the mountain bike trails near the corner of Forest Rd and Great Ocean Rd.
Orchids in May
With orchid reports coming in from other areas showing very little activity in the orchid world, we can be grateful that the Anglesea district always seems to have something to offer despite the lack of rainfall.
May Flora notes
At Easter I was delighted to be in the Box/Ironbark forests near Nagambie, and see our mat-like Cranberry Heath, Astroloma humifusum, in flower.
Have you seen the Anglesea Primary School garden?
The garden at Anglesea Primary School is a thriving testimony to the beauty of our indigenous vegetation.
Fungi of the Surf Coast Shire
When we think of life on Earth we tend to think of the plant and animal kingdoms, but there are also other kingdoms such as bacteria and fungi.

Weed of the month
Freesia
Freesia refracta and Freesia alba X F. leichtlinii are declared weeds in the Surf Coast Shire because they spread easily and threaten to invade bushland. Freesias are perennial herbs that die back in summer and produce new foliage in winter. The highly fragrant trumpet-shaped flowers appearing in spring are white to cream and pink with yellow markings, shaded purple on outer surface. Each plant has at least two corms, one below the other, thus requiring deep digging to remove them.
More details about how to control this weed can be found in the archive of Weeds of the Month.
