User's notes

A patch of Broom, clearly visible when sitting on the bench outside at Westerman's hut, Settler's track, Namadgi NP at the time when I took these photographs. The brooms have been monitored using Fieldmap. Strangely, Filedmap shows the locality outside Namadgi NP.

Thank you for the notification, the Namadgi Rangers have now treated this site and removed all plants. This was a great lead, this particular infestation had evaded treatment which was just completed in the broader area. It has been a very good (bad) season for broom. Thank you again.

Many thanks for the treatment and feedback. we noticed that a lot of weed control has been done - there were a few (Nodding?) thistles but otherwise, the area looked great.
We found rare Swainsonia and there were beautiful sites with wildflowers in the vicinity.
