User's notes
GPSed approx centre of ~1.5ha NTG grassland in SE corner of the site southside of drainage line on the east side of the dam. Heights ranged between 30-75cm. I started counting individual plants from the north end and abandoned counting at 300 about a third-half of the way down. At the time I guesstimated there must have been at least another 400 that I didn't count - a bumper year for Blue Devils in this part of the site.
