Activities: 1. A Land for Wildlife property south of Mt Tyson has approx. 70 ha of retained habitat which is a mixture of Mountain Coolibah, Belah, White Cypress, and an understorey of acacia, vine thicket species and grasses. Our walk will be mainly along a cleared fence line allowing easy access for all participants.
2. Irongate Conservation Park. Following morning tea on the property we will continue approx. 10km to the park on Wallingford Road. The park preserves three fairly distinct vegetation groups based on Mountain Coolibah in the north east, Brigalow along the road to the west and Belah forming an arc around the southern boundary. This 29ha ‘accidental’ reserve was sold to the state government in 1976 and in 1994 a Pittsworth Landcare project led by John and Ruth Walter oversaw the creation of a 1500m easy, well maintained walking path through the park.
What to Bring: morning tea, lunch, water, chair, sun protection and please wear closed shoes.
NB. Please check our blog, or our Facebook page or email toowoombafieldnaturalists@gmail.com as activities are subject to change if there are adverse weather conditions.
