Leslie St - Blue Mtns Nat Park 21 Aug 2021

Scramble down to v minor track from Leslie St - possibly starts at Blue Gum Swamp track entrance and skirts back of houses. This joined marked trail (white paint/Christian Centre?) following a minor creek tributary of Shaws Creek. wet schlerophyll along creek with many old growth trees and a lot of small birds plus whipbirds etc. Noticed only one Hakea sericea (Hakea Invasions Project) near the house end. Also no Hop Bush or Sydney Boronia obvious and only scattered Wattles and Pea plants. Patersonia had mostly finished flowering. Also very few Leucopogon setigers. track rises occasionally and has offshoots (Christian centre?) Trees with burnt trunks (but not all). one of the creek crossings had filmy layer on water but mostly it looked fairly healthy. Pink tape/possible route up to the Nat Park trail came in from boulder outcrop on left and white marked trail changed to pink tape at major outcrop where we stopped.. possibly continues and joins Hartfield Fire trail. No bike interference in this area. One raptor seen but not identified. Sheoaks seen but not glossy black cockatoo chewings
