Wednesday Walk from Kambah Pool to Red Rocks Gorge – 27 June 2012 The walk began from the top car park at Kambah Pool. It follows the cliffs above the Murrumbidgee River with one descent to near the river. Unfortunately there are far more weeds on this walk than on the walk to the north. We ticked off nearly all of our list of previous post-fire species and made many additions including Allocasuarina verticillata, Astroloma humifusum, Cassinia longifolia and a few grasses including Sorghum leiocladum and Poa induta. There were very few flowers - some Grevillea juniperina and Veronica perfoliata - but some very good regeneration - particularly all the young Callitris endlicheri. At Red Rocks Gorge some descended the steep slope to the river and found Westringia eremicola, Calytrix tetragona, Leucopogon attenuatus, Callistemon sieberi, lots of Acacia doratoxylon and a few new water plants.
