| Hardenbergia - Hardenbergia violacea |
I thought I'd check this area out again after finally finding out where Porters Road was after visiting here in August on the Threatened Species Tour.
A couple of things surprised me on the walk, not so much the plants (though the amount of weed species did) but all the other activities going on here. A gun range with buildings, sand-mining with truck parking before you get onto the main site and a fairly well setup (I would say) illegal bicycle obstacle course with jumps, through a nice patch of ground orchids, and a bridge. Oh yes, when I first got there, there was a woman walking about six dogs, including greyhounds, all off leash along the reserve road.
Maybe someone who knows the name of the plants I'm not sure of might want to leave comment, I'd be most thankful.
