How good are trees and grassland together? Epping Cemetery is an almost unused settler cemetery in Melbourne's north with amazing grassland and Red Gum Grassy Woodland. It has ten types of native grasses and six types of lillies, including one of the largest populations of nationally Endangered Matted Flax-lily in Australia. We visited last year, […]
We were blown away by our visit to Woorndoo's grasslands last year. Nothing beats these grasslands for outstanding interest. This overnight trip is worth the drive!

Join us for a wander around Woodend Racecourse grassland! It's a partially cleared area of grassy woodland that has kept most of its ground dwelling plants. Orchids, lilies, peas, trigger plants, daisies, heaths – the whole bloomin' lot as Peter Cundall would say. The stupendousness of Spring flowers varies from year to year but it's […]
