Julia's Little Creek Revegetation

Spent part of the last few days planting 39 local rainforest trees and shrubs down by the creek. This involved setting them out where I wanted them to grow, then digging the holes and planting them in, with a bit of slow release native fertilizer.
Then I staked out each one so we could easily see them so that when we brush cut along the creek bank to keep the weeds down, we wouldn't cut the newly planted plants. For those of you who are interested in such stuff, this is the species list I planted:
Red Kamala
Native frangipani
Flindersia australis
Cudgerie
Yellow Wood (Flindersia xanthoxila
Brush Box
Red Cedar
White Oak (OK so not a local but...)
Red Ash
Pink Euodia
Blue Quandong
Riberry
Couple of other lilly pilly species
Pittosporum undulatum
