Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this part of Ku-ring-gai Chase is heavily wooded, with some open water. With running water close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Among allergenic trees nearby, olive leads, followed by mulberry. Grass pollen is plentiful, while plantain and pigweed lead among the weeds. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 15°C and olive and mulberry are in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in mid-spring and fading by early fall. Plantain and pigweed flower through much of the warmer half of the year. Rain is heaviest in fall, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
