The work we did included removing Balloon vine, weeding Lantana/Bitou bush, water testing and tree planting and restoration, we did this with an organisation known as CVA (Conservation Volunteers Australia).
We had to wear a high vis vest and a proper Aussie hat throughout the work, gardening gloves and secateurs became our best friends! Haha
