This newsletter is published by the Wurundjeri Walk Advisory Committee, which is appointed by Whitehorse Council. Newsletter 2016 We have two exciting projects for Wurundjeri Walk in 2016. Melbourne Water has already completed work on the restructuring of the creek on its entry to the park by Bungalook Nursery. The work is aimed at reducing erosion of the creek banks in this area and will also hopefully improve flow of the water down the creek and reduce the problem of erosion downstream. The area adjacent to the creek banks will be replanted with indigenous plants later in the year. The second project due to start at the end of February by Whitehorse City Council is the play space upgrade adjacent to the car park at the end of Orchard Grove. The design has been inspired by the Australian impressionist artists’ camp that was located at nearby Houston’s farm which straddled Gardiners Creek in Box Hill South in the late 1800’s. Tom Roberts’ painting ‘The Artists Camp’ depicts this campsite in 1886 and is part of the National Gallery of Victoria’s collection. When complete we will have a marvellous, interactive play space for children. The work will be complemented by indigenous plant landscapes in and around the play space. We hope to involve students from local schools in the planting program. In October 2014 we received a Communities for Nature Grant from the State Government of Victoria’s Department of Environment & Primary Industry (now part of the new Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning). The grant enabled us to continue with the re-vegetation of the park during 2015, concentrating on indigenous shrubs and small plants. The above picture shows volunteers planting tubestock in an area bare of small plants and grasses. When established the plants will enhance the visual appearance of the park and create a more diverse habitat which should attract more native fauna.
