Effects of fire on vegetation was the main theme for this month’s nature ramble as we visited the Anglesea Bushland Reserve where an ecological burn had been completed on half of the reserve in November 2021.
Fourteen people attended the Angair Bird Walk on Saturday 11 June. The weather did not look promising but in fact turned out to be not as windy as expected.
With autumn drawing to an end and winter approaching, the Greenhood Orchids are dominant in the district. Tiny Greenhoods, Pterostylis parviflora, and Brown-tipped Greenhoods, P. clivosa, have almost finished flowering but there are still some to be found.
We had perfect weather, a sunny, mild and calm day with the sun shining through the low vegetation. Common Heath was flowering well. A variety of fungi were seen.
A group of 12 came on the ramble. We started from the car park and proceeded left along the path leading to the three bridges over the Anglesea River. It was lovely weather, and photos were taken during the walk in the following order.
Survival in a coastal environment was the theme for this month’s ramble, and what better beach to observe examples of specific plant adaptations than Red Rocks Beach, west of Pt Addis.

Many of Angair’s activities occur on Wadawurrung Country which extends from east of Painkalac Creek to Werribee in the east and Beaufort and Ballarat in the north: an area over 10,000 square kilometres.
We discovered this unusual pair on the beach at low tide between Urquhart Bluff and Aireys Inlet, January 17, 2020.
