Reads Hut

Blackwood Acacia melanoxylon flower buds


Sour Bush Omphacomeria acerba just beginning to flower. The flowers are very tiny, not quite able to see them here. Does look superficially like Cherry Ballart (Exocarpos cupressiformis), which is in the same family.


Large Sour Bush at the front.


Silver Wattle Acacia dealbata flowering now




Common Hovea Hovea heterophyla


Australian Indigo Indigofera australis with flower buds


Bushfold Hut, rebuilt where Reads hut stood before the 2003 bushfires.
