Wednesday Walk in Brooks Hill Reserve - 10 July 2013

The Reserve is on the Kings Highway between Queanbeyan and Bungendore with entrances at the top and via a rest area at the bottom. It is quite heavily wooded with some lovely old trees, predominantly Eucalyptus rossii, E. macrorhyncha, E. dives and E. bridgesiana. At the top of the Reserve is a lovely patch of themeda grassland with the not so common Eryngium rostratum and Calocephalus citreus. There is a loop track which goes through most of the different types of vegetation. Of interest is a suckering olearia species which is as yet un- named.
