years and when our eagle eyed members spotted 
Carpobrotus rossii (Native Pigface) and L issanthe 
stringosa (Peachberry Heath) she was very pleased to 
add these two species to her list. 
Michael and Geoff were on their knees trying to catch 
tiny male crickets but few other insects were seen. 
Only a small number of fungi were found. 
Our thanks to Peter and the Friends for showing us 
the varied nature of this important bushland habitat.
