Thark Ridge 2025

 16 December 2025

 I was asked by PWS about the current status of vegetation on Thark Ridge, in the section west of  the saddle and just before the high point and beyond.   The last time I was there a bit of scrub  was growing over the track in a few spots and thought it would be worth visiting to check and  report back.   When we got there it was obvious that it had been recut in the last year or so.

The weather was fine with the wind gradually reducing to quite gentle, the Epacris was good, the sun on the heath, especially the spice bush (Ozothamnus) was delightful and there was constant song from Crescent honeyeaters.
