Field Guide to
Local Plants

This Field Guide to Local Plants is brought to you by the Sandy Point Community Group. A major focus of our Sandy Point Community Plan is to protect our unique natural environment.
Local volunteers have supplied content, and all photographs have been taken in and around Sandy Point. Every effort is made to accurately identify our local indigenous plants, as well as invasive weeds, and to provide links to species information at VicFlora and the Atlas of Living Australia.
