Darebin Bush Crew are currently dealing with a cluster of South African Weed Orchids, which they have found in an area near the La Trobe Uni footbridge. They are asking if anyone comes across these emerging weeds along the creek, to post them on iNaturalist. (free biodiversity sharing app for smart devices). A video which details its identification can be found here.
The orchid is a serious threat to Kangaroo Grass (Themeda triandra) dominant grasslands.
The Friends of Darebin Creek acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people who are the Traditional Owners of the land around the Darebin Creek. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
