Paperbark tree

During the various walks with Adrian Odgers and Woodridge one of the stories he tells is about the resemblance between a telephone book and the paperbark tree. Well, now we have proof.

Hardly a month after the fire new shoots appear and soon we will have a lush tree again.

Talking about proof, we can also see that many Pelargoniums are pioneer plants. There are large patches of P.capitatum, P.ribifolium, P.radens and here on the pic P.grossularoides

We made good progress with clearing some more shrubbery and trees. It seems like it takes forever especially because lately we had quite a few time robbers on a Wednesday with people coming to talk and not to work. The retirement of two of the staff is already having an impact and there s no improvement in sight.
