  • Ecology of Proteaceae with Special Reference to the Sydney Region
    951 Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region P.J. Myerscough, R.J. Whelan and R.A. Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.

(Those coming from the north will cross the Clyde and turn right immediately off the bridge) The roads once leaving the Kings H’way are unsealed, and a little rough and potholed. Western Distributor Road is about 22km up the Kings Highway from Batemans Bay. From the turnoff, the property is about 2.7km. Once on Western Distributor Road, you will cross Currowan Creek, pass Pig Road on the right, and then look for the “Verdigris” sign. The gate to 274 is next. The driveway down to the house is steep, with parking available in the paddock. This introduction to our visit is from Cliff. The property is set in a valley surrounding the Currowan Creek catchment, in the foothills of Budawang Range. By virtue of its location it possesses a unique microclimate abounding in naturally occurring rainforest species. The valley is dominated by Eucalyptus saligna (Sydney Blue Gum), some monster in size, and Angophora floribunda, along with naturally occurring Elaeocarpus reticulatus, Prostanthera lasianthos, Persoonia linearis, Polyscias murrayi, Cyathea australis, Livistona australis, Ficus coronata, with Pimelea axiflora, Claoxylon australe, Astrotricha ledifolia, Psychotria loniceroides, Backhousia mytifolia and much more along the creek.

That is except for 2 intrepid travellers who made a determined effort to be there ! Questions and answers: At this meeting all members attending will be encouraged to : discuss their successes in growing Australian plants, divulge special tips and tricks they have learned over the years, ask the difficult questions about why certain plants just don’t do what they are supposed, and maybe find a solution to a problem which continues to defy best efforts. Pests and diseases might also warrant discussion, but anyone who wishes to bring a live specimen of such, is asked to ensure it is well contained within a plastic bag. Jenny and Pete have enough of their own, and would not appreciate adding to their collection of problems. All members attending are welcome to bring along some plant specimens for discussion.

  • Best Local Native Plants for Use in Bushfire Prone Locations
    Best local native plants for use in Bushfire Prone Locations In the wake of bushfire, many local gardeners seek to replant landscaped areas with so called ‘low flammability’ species. It is important to understand that under extreme bushfire conditions, all vegetative material can burn. However, some species are less likely to ignite or burn intensely than others, and some species have growth characteristics which make them less likely to promote the spread of fire. If you are replanting the areas surrounding your dwelling or other areas within your Asset Protection Zone (APZ), careful attention must be paid to both species selection and garden layout. Consider the usefulness and suitability of each existing or proposed planting. Be mindful of the plant’s ultimate height and spread, and don’t overplant, or alternatively be prepared to prune or cull as plants mature. Both vertical and horizontal separation between canopy components or shrub clusters needs to be retained so as to reduce the potential for fire to spread. Whether selecting new plants for your garden, or species for retention in your APZ, there are a few key characteristics to look for: • Relatively high moisture content of leaves (‘mesic’ or rainforest type species, but these need to remain well watered if they are to retain their fire suppressant characteristics) • Low levels of volatile oil in leaves (crush and sniff the leaf to see if you can detect a strong smell) • Large or hard leaves with simple margins • Smooth, hard, or persistent bark, rather than flakey or ribbon bark • Plants that don’t accumulate a lot of dead leaf and stem material below them or suspended in the foliage.

  • The Birds of Wirrumbirra, Laguna
    Birds of Wirrumbirra, Laguna The Whistler 8 (2014): 1-9 The birds of Wirrumbirra, Laguna Dorothy Raine 8 Maltarra Place, Charlestown, NSW 2290, Australia Wirrumbirra is a 75 ha property located near Yango Creek Road, Laguna, 8 km south-west of Wollombi, NSW. It is situated in the Yango Creek catchment, 2 km east of Yengo National Park. The property supports Hawkesbury Sandstone open forest associations largely unmodified by clearance, grazing or frequent fires. A small number of cattle grazed the area prior to 1979, but since their removal some areas have regenerated. The property, which has been regularly monitored over a period of more than 33 years, has supported a diverse range of birds, including 12 species listed as threatened in New South Wales. A Voluntary Conservation Agreement with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has been in place over the property since 2002. INTRODUCTION METHODS Wirrumbirra is a 75 ha property located in an Records were gathered on visits to the property between isolated valley accessible by a private road from 1979 and 2012.

  • Persoonia Geebungs Or Snotty Gobbles Friends
    Plant in Focus, April 2021 Persoonia Geebungs or Snotty Gobbles Friends Persoonia juniperina Prickly Geebung. Photo: Natalie Tapson, West Coast of Tasmania, flickr CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 of Geelong Botanic Gardens A very good friend whose passion is Australian natives and in particular indigenous plants in the Gippsland region mentioned Geebung. Initially I thought of Banjo Paterson’s poem, The Geebung Polo Club. It was the Geebung Polo Club made of hardy, muscular and strong mountain men against the soft bellied city blokes and ponies of the Cuff and Collar team. Needless to say they were all bludgeoned to death. No man was left standing. What remains is their gravestones and the ghosts of horses and men. Whilst out walking in the bush at Mallacoota, a year after the horrendous bushfires, my attention was directed to a bright green shrub with dark, flaky, papery bark, red stems with broad flat smooth leaves and yellow flowers issuing from a blackened trunk. It was most impressive. The name of this plant was Persoonia levis otherwise known as Broad Leaf Geebung and further on was Persoonia linearis, Narrow leaved Geebung. Persoonia is in the family Proteacea. The family name comes from that of the Greek sea-god, Proteus who could change form willy - nilly. It was used by Linnaeus because the first examples of this family seen by him were all different. There are about 80 genera with over 1700 species, mainly in the Southern Hemisphere and mostly in tropical and temperate regions. Due to their mainly Southern Hemisphere distribution there are high areas of diversity in Australia and the southern tip of Africa.
