User's notes

Grassy woodland; The Fair improvement site. Over the past >10 years volunteers of Friends of Mt Majura worked at The Fair improvement area they removed weeds bought seeds including Corkscrew speargrass and direct seeded over the weed-treated sites. This photo shows a patch of (direct seeded) Corkscrew Speargrass (Austrostipa scabra) in front of the small Eucalyptus; Tall Speargrass to the right and Clancy's Track to the left. Some of the Austrostipa scabra was misidentified as Serrated tussock recently (March 2024) and sprayed by contractors.
