areas. It sits adjacent to a playground with a rope climbing structure which further exaggerates the hill top location. There is also an open space lawn kick-a-bout area included in the design of this multi-purpose space. Indigenous planting consists of Eucalyptus polyanthemos (Red Box), Correa reflexa (Common Correa), Lomandra longifolia (Spiny Headed Mat Rush), Ficinia nodosa (Knobby Club Rush) and Poa labillardieri (Common Tussock Grass).
