Local Environmental Conditions
Around 96% of the area near this site in Shire of Yarra Ranges is woodland. With a watercourse close by, riverside vegetation contributes to the local mix. Among allergenic trees nearby, maple is the main source. Grasses and weeds such as plantain round out the local mix. Gaps in the canopy, trails and forest edges give grasses and herbs room to grow.
Maple leads the season in early spring, as temperatures climb to around 10°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grasses take over in early summer and keep pollen in the air into early fall. Plantain flowers through much of the warmer half of the year. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.
