NPWS is running another volunteer bushcare day for Barrenjoey Headland in Ku-rin-gai National Park. This is specifically being run for climbers – come and help take care of this special spot, help access, and show that climbers do care about the crags we enjoy.
The headland is currently recovering from a fire that burned through last year.
We’ll spend the morning doing a few jobs around the cliff, including erecting some signs for the new tracks, move some stones around to protect the aboriginal midden, and do bushcare and weeding around the crag to remove baby asparagus, lantana and other nasties before they get big again.
Stu Dobbie will also be looking for volunteers to circumnavigate the headland (about 2 hours of rock scrambling) to photograph and GPS map the bitou bush regeneration on the sea side. The group will take some loppers and poison and kill any easy-to-get-to weeds along the way. And try not to get too side-tracked oogling all the delicate rock architecture along the way.
After lunch there’ll be time to go climbing! There may also be afternoon swimming involved.
Free parking passes will be organised for drivers. We need to keep track of numbers so I will be in touch with Stu and Rachel as we get closer.
