Castlereagh Reserve in NW Sydney protects the last patch of this unique forest type. It's a mix of ironbark stands and Castlereagh Scribbly Gum with a diverse shrub layer and ground cover. I introduced a small group from Jane Goodall's local Roots and Shoots chapter to the joys of birding today.

Castlereagh and Canning fought a duel in Putney, which collapsed the Portland government and led to Perceval becoming PM.
