This will be an easy but interesting walk along the fire trail at the end of Jones Road. The flora here on Hawkesbury Sandstone is diverse, and spectacular in places. It should be close to peak flowering time too. Lesley will be leading this walk.
Rare plants include Leucopogon fletcheri subsp. fletcheri (endangered), Darwinia biflora (vulnerable), and Tetratheca glandulosa (vulnerable).
There’s a population of Boronia floribunda with flowers ranging from pink to pure white. Unusual plants discovered on previous walks include a form of Phebm sqaliuuamulosum with variegated leaves, and a Boronia rubiginosa with pure white flowers.

       
Styphelia triflora and Phebalium squamulosum should be flowering.

Also Leucopogon fletcheri and Boronia rubiginosa (white).

Meet at 1.15pm for a 1.30pm start.

Location of Gumnut Hall

Gumnut Hall, Gumnut Place, Cherrybrook.

Gumnut Hall is at the closed end of Gumnut Place, a side street off Gumnut Road, Cherrybrook. On weekdays this hall is used by Cherrybrook Community Preschool, so on maps it is often referred to by this name. Gumnut Place is narrow and winding, and parking is limited, so it is best to use any parking space you see, and walk the short distance to the hall. Gumnut Road is much larger and parking is easier.
