The plan for this coming Thursday morning is to tackle BW-35 (on the northern side of the Blacks Walk bridge), then BW-27 and BW-33 in Blacks Walk. There’s a fair bit of work at BW-35 though BW-27/BW-33 just need a maintenance walk-through/light weed. So we’ll start in BW-35 and then head northwards through BW-27 visiting BW-33 on the way.
We’ll set up camp near the red X – and finish off northwards as far as we can go depending on numbers:
Should be plenty of parking in the Garie Street car park – school holidays are still going!
Last Working Bee
Last week, we got most of KP-24 done (not quite all – but great progress) – we’ll start at the southern end next time and should get the lot done ! No more asbestos found thank goodness.
Conditions
(last updated 06:10 11/4/2024)
We’ve had some more great rain over the past couple of days to completely soften up our weeds !
Rain: There’s a 20% chance of rain falling to 10% – so a smart idea to bring wet weather gear.
Storms/Weather warnings: TBA.
Temperature: It should be a mild 13-17 degrees while we work.
Heatwave: None.
Wind: mild strength S and SSW winds are expected.
UV: It will be overcast with UV rating of 4 if the sun ever gets through.
EPA Air Quality: GOOD.
Risks to highlight
- Please bring water to maintain your hydration.

- Mozzies are about in shaded spots and still-ish air – plenty around due to recent rain – best to have bare skin protected. We have repellent available in the PPE bag.
- Wear appropriate clothes for the conditions – including a hat, long sleeves and closed-toe shoes.
- Hi-vis clothes/vests are recommended.
- There are stumps, branches, lumps and bumps etc that may present trip hazards and eye-hazards under twiggy shrubs etc. We have some safety glasses in the PPE bag if you feel you need them.
- COVID is still around. Please don’t come if you have any COVID symptoms.
- Bull-ant bites have not been recorded in the area – though please be vigilant nevertheless.
