It was a veryspecies-rich heath (64 taxa per 100 m 2 ) that was in very good condition. There were invasive weeds nearby(*Gomphocarpus fruticosus and *Hyparrhenia hirta) but the dense heath of Vegetation Unit SL2 had notbeen burnt for many years and included only a few individuals of minor weedy grasses and herbs.Associates of this vegetation included: Acacia lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa sens. strict., Acacia stenoptera,Acanthocarpus canaliculatus, Actinostrobus pyramidalis, Angianthus preissianus , Aphelia cyperoides,Baeckea sp.

The most species-rich area of this vegetation was in very good condition andwas dominated by shrubs that re-seeded after a recent fire (Actinostrobus pyramidalis, Viminaria juncea, andAcacia lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa), native herbs and grasses. The vegetation structure had been modified butwas regenerating well into a dense scrub/heath. It was relatively weed free and resilient against the invasionof weeds that inhabited the more disturbed fringes of this block. There is good potential for the restoration ofthis entire block to good condition vegetation. Part of the vegetation adjacent to the species-rich area abovehad been cleared recently (and piles of brush from the clearing were still evident in some places) but wasregenerating naturally after the fire. Some of this disturbed area was Eucalyptus rudis (Flooded Gum) lowopen forest with an understorey of Melaleuca osullivanii that was re-growing after the fire. *Ehrhartacalycina was the dominant weed (30-50% cover) in the totally degraded area. The only other aggressiveweed of the block,*Sparaxis bulbifera, was sparse (
