Old Station / Glowworm Tunnel site

Located next to 3 Vera Street, Helensburgh.  We work here on one Sunday afternoon per month.

Helensburgh Landcare has been working here since 1996. We continue to remove environmental weeds from the site. The main focus has changed over the years as the original lantana (Lantana camara) and giant reed (Arundo donax) have been replaced by arum lilies (Zantedeschia aethopica) and ginger lilies (Hedychium gardnerianum).
