As
a rule, if you don’t attack the vegetation, it won’t
attack you, but we do have some quite nasty thorny trees,
and you do want to be aware of them. Most are obvious. You
may also find, in some areas, the grass seeds are particularly
affectionate, and it can be quite difficult to discourage
them from clinging to your socks. You can buy (or make) sock
protectors – just cut off the last few inches of a pair
of old jeans or trousers, sew in a bit of elastic, and wear
them over your shoes. You will find this invaluable in the
bush. Of course, we do have some poisonous plants as well,
so don’t go around putting any pretty-looking berry
into your mouth. Otherwise, our plants are mostly friendly
and useful – providing decoration, a soft surface to
walk on and a shady canopy to sit under.
