Newsletter OCTOBER 2019 3 Community Interaction: The Hasties For a number of years, we have been conducting workshops about Australian Native Plants for the Wendouree and Ballarat North Neighbourhood Houses. These workshops have usually involved propagation, by seeds or cuttings, but also consider selection of plants for home gardens. Follow-up visits to our garden have occurred. The most recent events have been a Question and Answer session over Morning Tea at Ballarat North Neighbourhood House and John delivered a session on choosing plants at the newly formed Ballarat East House. A new interaction is with Vision Australia. Vision Australia has regular group activities for the Visually Impaired at the Howitt Street facility. The activities include woodwork, other craft work, art, etc. in the well-equipped rooms. The session we conducted was a sensory activity involving Mint Bushes (Prostanthera), both edible and just aromatic and ‘tastable’ leaves; lemon, aniseed and cinnamon myrtle. Two more visits are planned on different days to cater for other groups. Editor’s Note: The Hasties are highly Above and below: The Australian Garden at commended for these activities. Cranbourne.

(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.
