Mudurup
Synergy and Landcare will be partnering with CCA and the Town of Cottesloe to restore the weed infested, untidy and eroded sections of Mudurup Rocks (see map below). Mudurup Rocks (the place of the yellow finned whiting) is the limestone promontory on the sea side of the Cottesloe Surf Club. It is an important Aboriginal site. The new project area surrounds the sundial on the southern side of the rocks and has wonderful views across the Cove and south to Fremantle.
Planting of species local to the site will happen in autumn and winter of 2010 and seed collecting from the site has already begun.
Ben Croxford of 'Nuts about Natives Nursery' will bring his special knowledge and skills to the project and grow some of the more difficult to grow local species. For some species there are so few local plants remaining that it is difficult to get enough viable seed. Ben takes plant divisions or cutting material and is building up a small collection of stock plants at his nursery for CCA. He is then able to take cuttings to grow plants for us to plant out next year. Other seedlings will be grown for CCA by APACE Nursery, Fremantle.
The project area is area to the south of the green line.
