The plan for Thursday, 9th November, is to reprise our plan for last week – to finish the weeds in BW-32 and also make some inraods into BW-31.
Last Week
Due to an unusually small attendance last week (people away + I had to meet with Grant re some tree issues elsewhere in Blacks Walk), we didn’t quite make it to BW-31. Nevertheless, it was great to have Mark W and John D back on deck and to catch up with our former long-time colleagues Lisa and Digby.

Risks to highlight
- There is a risk of thunderstorms.
- Please bring water to maintain your hydration.
- Mozzies are about in shaded spots and still-ish air – best to have bare skin protected. We have repellent available.
- Wear appropriate clothes for the conditions – including a hat, long sleeves and closed-toe shoes.
- Hi-vis clothes/vests are recommended especially near the Garie Street road access to the car-park. Please take care when on the path to dump weeds etc.
- There are stumps, branches, lumps 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, flu and RSV are still around – in fact, COVID cases have risen markedly. Please don’t come if you have any symptoms.
- No recent bull-ant incidents in BW-32 but there has been in BW-31 – so please be vigilant….
Apologies: Peter, Julie and Mark W.
