Our very popular Annual Spring Wildflower Ramble celebrates the spring flowering on Black Mountain with a social ramble for wildflower lovers in the tradition established by Nancy Burbidge, continued by George Chippendale, and then Jean Geue. Discover the surprising diversity of tiny orchids, bush peas, wattles and billy buttons on easy bush tracks with experienced guides and good company. The Spring walk is definitely a ramble, we'll stop and look at any flower we see!
BYO morning tea, water, hat, sunblock and stout shoes.
All springs are not the same. The abundance of flowers varies with the weather. Friends of Black Mountain welcomes everyone, be they experts or those who have never slowed down to see the somewhat cryptic diversity. We plan several guides, with helpers, who will take different directions.
Please allow time to park and walk to the meeting point where there will be some books for sale, including Black Mountain a Natural History of a Canberra Icon by Ian Fraser and Rosemary Purdie.
Meet at Belconnen Way entry just before Caswell Drive turnoff - watch for balloons or banners.
Small donations accepted.
