5/1/03
Cleared lantana, especially on the south side of the gully. There are some very nice stands of rainforest trees that need to be identified. Worked with Omer for about 7 hours. Used a car to pull out the larger lantana bushes. The contours of the gully are now much more visible. There are about 6 medium sized camphors on the east and several others along the south bank. These will be pulled out later with an excavator.
We will prepare the residue lantana off-cuts later for mulching.
