This spring-fed watercourse begins on the northern slopes of Camp Mountain, meanders through SERF from the eastern boundary and joins with Samford Creek on SERF's north-western boundary.
Why is it important?
This water course provides a valuable resource for fauna and flora, such as access to water and microhabitat changes including the cooling effects and increases in water vapour.
What do you notice about the habitat?
The forest changes as you walk downhill towards the creek from a predominantly dry sclerophyll (or Eucalyptus species) forest to a wetter forest dominated by Melaleuca species. You may notice the appearance of bark on the trees change as you walk down the slope. Melalecua species are distinguished by their spongy, papery bark. This unique bark provides important protection to the tree from bushfires.
