Come and see some examples of the earliest types of plants and trace the development of plants on this free guided walk as part of MEGAfauna: a walk through time!
See the kinds of plants that were around at the same time as the dinosaurs and how much they had changed by the time the megafauna arrived.
Meet at the clock near the bridge. No booking required for individuals, but groups of more than six people should contact walks@friendsanbg.org.au a week before the planned walk.
Image: Cycad (Macrozamia sp.) cone. Cycads produce a large cone which opens up when ripe to show vibrant colours. The bright seeds attracted megafauna, in mass feeding events.
