Linda and Roger's Bunhybee Grasslands - Trees and Shrubs

This is a page within Roger and Linda's Bunhybee Grasslands Web-Site.

Bunhybee Grasslands is a 49 hectare / 120 acre conservation property 35km south of Braidwood, in southern N.S.W.

You can follow through the internal links, or you may find it easier to use the Site-Map.

Information about Trees and Shrubs

Given that the majority of the property is grasslands, our primary focus is on the grasses and the forbs, i.e. the small flowering plants that grow among the grasses. On the other hand, as partly shown by the satellite imagery, there are many trees and shrubs.

Below are photos, in chronological order.
