Checking on Erica Near Mt Connection

East West Site 2

Wednesday 3 Dec 08

The old Myrtle Forest fire trail was checked and a few plants, mostly large, were located in the upper section. Following this known sites to the east were given a follow-up and new Erica found and removed. The East West fire trail was checked almost as far as the junction with the Mt Connection walking track and the two waterholes closely inspected for Erica, but only a single bush was found and that was close to the Myrtle junction.

Although the day started out fine and clear, it rained just prior to our arrival at Myrtle Forest and several showers fell during the day, although never long lasting. The old Myrtle Forest Fire Trail is overgrowing rapidly and this made for slow progress until reaching the junction of the East West.
