| Not a Blackbutt |
After our Group met on Vale road in Gordon the entrance to the track was easily found. It proved to be a wide open trail in the Reserve which is home to some of the tallest Blackbutt trees along with attractive Turpentines and Peppermint trees. After a lucky little lesson from Marie-Claire I now may be able to differentiate between the barks of the Blackbutts and the Turpentines. Powerful Owls have been recorded in this reserve - too few of them left in our forests and parklands, sadly.
The track descended down hill eventually crossing the creek. The entire walk, there and back, was very close to built up areas. At one point, before turning back traffic noise from Lane Cove road was constant but for the greater distance walked the tranquility of the bush prevailed. Happily, bird song and sound everywhere which is NOT something we often have.
