(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Leader: Philip Wright. Spring is orchid time. Sylvan Grove Native Garden has such an array of Rock Orchids. They are majestic flowers to admire. https://www.cbcity.nsw.gov.au/environment/parks-reserves/sylvan-grove-native-garden It has mulched paths winding through rainforest areas and areas with more sun, so there is a diversity of plants. It also has many ferns and rainforest plants that like a shady spot, and other plants like prostantheras and plectranthus that flower well in shade. Map: Picnic Point View

This is a combined activity with Menai Wildflower Group (MWG) who will guide us to the site. Parkesvale is in the Georges River National Park and is accessed from Heathcote Road. The walk is about 1.2km each way, starting at the Sandy Point Community Centre car park (200 St George Crescent, Sandy Point) and is mostly on a fire trail along the southern bank of the Georges River. A short section is on a bush track which is sometimes muddy and there is an optional side trip, of about 50m on a rough track, to an indigenous rock art site. Parkesvale was established by the Sandbrook brothers of Camperdown 1899 as a pleasure ground and night-time dance venue on the Georges River with up to 800 patrons reported dancing there to a band on a Saturday night. It operated until about 1912 with patrons conveyed to Parkesvale, from Como Station, by the paddlewheel steam ferry Telephone, the largest ferry to ever ply the Georges River. Located in the reserve is: Native flora in the Georges River National Park Archaeological remains of the infrastructure associated with Parkesvale Scant remains of the paddle steamer Telephone, now sadly degraded by 4x4 vehicles An indigenous shelter containing multiple handprints is a short detour from the path Contact leader for more details.
