What's up doc? A daily photograph of Bugs Bunny!
The new hydroponic plant containers have arrived – 1L conical flasks! They have a low centre of gravity allowing lots of plant growth before they could become unstable. A new plant stem support has also been devised, replacing solid foam with splits or holes is 30mm strips of 10mm soft foam wound around the stems.
You can see that the Syngonium has done well the last 2 months – the leaf that was developing opened and another came through.
Bismark Reserve southern section, from the west looking east with the Anchorage Village shops top right. The treeline at the top / left marks the southern drain into Lake Richmond, with below showing the drain looking west after it goes under a foot bridge. The drain extends above ground (under roads) east until the Read Street / Rockingham City Shopping Centre, which we might track in the future.
Bismark Reserve northern section, from the east looking west. The treeline at the top / left marks the southern drain into Lake Richmond. This section also becomes a lake with decent winter rains.
The eastern end of western section of Apex Reserve, looking west. While the eastern section is lake dominated, this section is a treed, grassed area.

We walked here to take this photograph yesterday but then walked on without taking the photograph until it wasn’t worth returning 🙄
This is the Rockingham Beach Primary School, across the oval that is on the Fisher Street side, This is from the south west corner (corner Fisher Street and Rosewood Street) looking north east.
Attempted photographs of Bugs with the earth’s moon. It demonstrates the depth of field challenges with the camera, plus the scale of the moon that our minds always perceives as larger than it is.
This Curly Spider Plant was purchased on the 24Feb26 at the same time as the Peace Lily, the roots were soaked a few days to remove the soil, then it was tried in another container but didn’t really suit that, so now moved to this jar temporarily.
Despite the donut vases being a good solution for the hydroponic plants, 3 new containers with a low centre of gravity have been purchased and the Peace Lily, Syngonium and this Curly Spider Plant will be transferred – keep a look out for about a week’s time!
Hawker Street Reserve, this is one of the larger lakes in the area, looking north.
