Two Sticks Hill

Blackwood Acacia melanoxylon is in flower now


Last year's seeds and the flowers together


Red Stringybark buds and fruit Eucalyptus macrorhyncha 





Bear's Ears Cymbonotus spp



Hard to see, but the cleared area under the powerlines was a vast field of Early Nancys Wurmbea dioica




Site of the old Sherwood Homestead.  The homestead is long gone but the daffodils remain. In a sea of violets.




Closeups of some of the flowers. The daffodils are the variety Rip Van Winkle, first planted here at the homestead about 100 years ago.
