The Michaela Crescent Park Group looks after the north side of Fish Creek in Michaela Crescent. The site was started by Pete Dorney in 1998, then managed by Gail and Ray Norval from 2006 to 2022.
This site is supported by Brisbane City Council and SOWN. This part of Fish Creek features a sandy bottom, rocks, lomandras on the water’s edge and a huge Hard Quandong Elaeocarpus obovatus. Lomandras act as a water filter to clean the creeks during revegetation. They are useful next to the creek (Lomandra hystrix) and further up the bank (Lomandra longifolia). Libby’s plan is to clear weeds from some of the hard-to-access areas which have infestations of Singapore Daisy and Panic Grass.
This bushcare site is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program. For more information email Libby Jones.
