Beyond Beleaf - A Botanical Walk

Join us for a walk and talk with self-confessed native plant geek Wayne O'Keefe and discover what 65 million years of isolation has done to our unique flora.

See insect trapping orchids, giant daisies, immortal trees and ancient club-mosses that evolved 500 million years ago.

Please note that a reasonable level of physical fitness is required as we will be going off the public tracks. Finally, don’t forget to wear warm clothing and footwear (e.g. NOT sandals or jandals), some snacks, a drink and a camera!.
