SUMMARY:Bushland Precinct Nature Walk

The walk takes you through open forest and features expansive views to Canberra City and Parliament House. Some of the plants are labelled and you will find interpretive signs about the biodiversity\, fire ecology and soil of the area. The walk culminates at a viewing platform offering spectacular views across Lake Burley Griffin.

Distance: 3.2 km (1.6 km each way) \nMeet: Friends only at Visitor Centre\, ANBG.

SUMMARY:54th Black Mountain spring wildflower ramble
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the spring flowering on beautiful Black Mountain with a social ramble appreciating wildflowers in the tradition established by Nancy Burbidge\, continued by George Chippendale\, and then Jean Geue. Discover the surprising diversity of tiny orchids\, bush peas\, wattles and billy buttons on easy bush tracks with experienced guides and good company. All springs are not the same. The pattern remains but timing and abundance vary with the weather; after the weather we have had this year we are anticipating a special display of flowers. Friends of Black Mountain welcomes everyone\, be they experts or those who have never slowed down to see the somewhat cryptic diversity. We plan several guides\, with helpers\, who will take different directions. \nPlease allow time to park and walk to the meeting point.  \nThere will be some books for cash sale\, including Black Mountain a natural history of a Canberra icon by Ian Fraser and Rosemary Purdie. \nMeet at Belconnen Way entry just before Caswell Drive turnoff – watch for balloons or banners\nBYO morning tea\, water\, hat\, sunblock and stout shoes. \nBOOKING ESSENTIAL to ensure we have enough guides. Please use this booking link: https://www.trybooking.com/DEWYB\nThis will help us to contact you if changes are needed at short notice (e.g. bad weather).\nIf you have problems with that link\, email names\, addresses\, and mobile phone numbers of each person you book to friendsofblackmountain@gmail.com \nLinda Beveridge\nConvenor\, Friends of Black Mountain
