The final meeting for 2011 was held at North Coral Crescent on Saturday 10th December focussing on eradication of Bitou and Asparagus Fern and sundry other weeds. In fact we did not quite get our work finished despite the hard work of the 9 people attending, leaving the Bitou to next year. We also did some tentative identification of a Bitou look-alike that is a native and put off pulling out ‘Cassia’ until we can confirm the identification.

Subject to consultation with Council, the restart for 2012 will be on Saturday 3 March at the Lagoon, meeting at the easement next to 65 Diamond Rd. I have proposed to Council that 4 people including a qualified poisoner, be assigned to North Coral Crescent to finish off the Bitou and the remaining Asparagus Fern (not that the job will be finished for ever). The survivors from North Coral Crescent will repair to the Lagoon for morning tea.

I have also registered as Coordinator for Clean Up Australia on Sunday 4 March and look forward to Bushcare support for this activity.
