This site was created by Bev Stockwell and Sally Danen, primarily for their own interest, to document the "bush plants" of the Sunday Creek and Birdum South blocks. We trust any visitor will take into account our strictly amateur status as botanists, webmasters and photographers. The plants are arranged first by growth form, then alphabetically by botanic name. Some plants have no common name, some have several. Growth forms are also tricky - my idea of a tree is something that you can comfortably sit in the shade of, a forb is a broadleafed plant (not grass or sedge) without a permanent woody stem, and a shrub is a woody plant, multi stemmed or branched from low on the trunk, smaller than about 4m. A vine climbs - if it is on the ground I have classed it as a forb.
