About Introduced Plants on the Peninsula
Introduced species reach the Tomaree Peninsula through various pathways — garden escapes, agricultural plantings, soil disturbance, and accidental transport. Some have naturalised and now persist alongside native vegetation in bushland, coastal dunes, roadsides, and wetland margins.
Distinguishing introduced from native species is important for understanding local ecology and for anyone involved in bush regeneration or habitat restoration work in the region.
