Redlands Indigiscapes Centre Bushland

I visited Indigiscapes at Capalaba today to see the bushland area that surrounds its visitor centre and native plant nursery. It was a grey and overcast day, but I found this drew my eye to the textural qualities of vegetation. There are walks on either side of a lagoon that forms part of Coolnwynpin Creek. As you can see from the images above, vegetation is varied in a relatively small area. Giant scribbly gums with recently peeled bark give a warm golden hue to an otherwise subtle grey-green palette. This subtle background is punctuated with details in knobbly textured bark, dark seed cones and dense leaf and bark litter. I observed water dragons, moor hens, butterflies and birds within the reserve. On sections of the walks nearby housing that surrounds the bush area becomes visible. I enjoy seeing these pockets of natural habitat that sit within suburban surrounds.
