Buffalo Stream flora and fauna

Of course we can’t help ourselves to try and identify everything we encounter whilst we are tackling these aliens along the stream and we were very impressed by what we all discovered and what is so precious to us. Here is a small selection:

Heamanthus albiflos
Yellow Bishop Bird adult female
Cladonia macilenta
Freylinia lanceolata
Nuxia floribunda
Holotrix parviflora
Southern olive woodpecker female
Prionium serratum / palmiet

This plant is so important for the health of the stream. It retains the little water there is as the upper reaches on private properties are swamped with aliens.

Aloe ferox

We can’t emphasize enough how important it is to preserve this little corner of paradise, there is always a temptation to open it op and share it with visitors but perhaps it should be left as a refuge for the few animals and plants to be left undisturbed
