Greetings fellow Foxies,
The bush in Foxes lair is still benefitting from a burn in December 2009, particularly on gravel soils. In the image below taken from the Breakaway Walk area last year, pink Mirbelia dilatata flowers show the burnt area compared to sedge dominated bush to the left that hasn’t burnt for 40 years.

There is also a great resurgence in lovely hairy flowered Jacksonia epiphyllum on the entry road in late October. Last year I happened to get a pic of a rare weevil and returned regularly to see if I could collect a specimen for the WA Museum. Alas no more rare weevils but many other interesting little beasties.
