The Camm site was direct seeded with understorey in 2005. The site had been sprayed but the fences were not erected and Charlie was not home when we sowed this 'virtual' site so we hoped we got it right ! It one of the early grey crown babbler project sites. Susan Sleigh DPI.
Revisited in November 2010 .
The plantation has been a success ,creating a wide thick windbreak and shade across the mid of an open paddock . Sheep were using the shelter of the plantation on the wet & windy day I visited. Three basic wattle species have been most successful . Golden wattle , Mallee wattle & Lightwood.
The wet season has stimulated tall phalaris grass to dominate the fenced off area creating management problem this summer. (Maybe the locusts will take care of it .)
