Figure 13. Vegetation around the
confluence of the Glen Gyle Creek and the Parapara River. The foreground
is terrace vegetation on the true right bank of the river, probably
where access to the proposed Power House would be located. The central
willows are on the left bank, probably planted for bank stability
when the area was settled. Nikau palms grow in the gorge at the
top left and are present with other lowland species between the
waterways. The proposed Power House would be approximately centrally
contained. |
