The Monday Nature Walks group has enjoyed walks in recent months in:

• Springwood Conservation Park (beautiful sandstone outcrops and flowing stream; varied plant life in different habitats including two types of Banksia and lots of Pultenaea villosa and Acasia)
• J. C. Trotter Memorial Reserve (fascinating small flowering plants including carnivorous sundews, groves of beautiful flowering Banksia spinulosa and Banksia integrifolia and picturesque Melaleucas around the swampy areas and lake)
• Ric Natrass Environmental Park (small park with great variety of Eucalyptus trees including Bloodwoods, Stringybark, Spotted Gum and Ironbarks, and patches that were hot-spots for small birds – wrens, whistlers, fantails). 

These are just a few of the 70 or more nature walks we have enjoyed in the last few years, since a small group of FBBGSA members started to meet each Monday morning to walk and talk plants.  We walk in and around Brisbane, with the Mt Coot-tha Gardens as our ‘home base’. 

The focus is the plant-life that surrounds us, from tiny flowers and fungi to giant eucalypts. This is not walking for exercise. We travel slowly, and for fairly short distances (2 to 4 km) because we stop frequently to look at plants of interest. 

We would love you to join us!  FBBGSA members and non-members are both welcome.  No obligation – come on any of the walks that interest you. 

We usually meet at about 8.30 am or 9 am and finish each walk around 12 midday, with a coffee break and chat.  When there is travel involved, car-sharing is available.
