Although named Boronia Hill you are more likely to see Leucopogon growing in the part of the reserve where this cache is located. There is no need to bush bash to get to the cache site, just walk along the wide sandy track at the top of the hill and follow it until your GPS indicates you’ve gone far enough.
Quite a number of leucopogon are in the area and flower from late winter through spring. Quite a number of other flowers, such as Euryomyrtus ramosissima (previously Baeckea) and Tetratheca, grow in this attractive bit of bush.
The following notes about the area are taken from the publication “Tracks and Trails in Kingborough”.
This track, which is easily accessed from a number of streets, provides a wonderful natural breathing space in the centre of pressing residential development in Kingston and Blackmans Bay. The track winds through delightful peppermint and white gum woodland, dotted with sandstone outcrops. Orchids can be found in the heathland in spring and early summer, along with epacris, pea flowers and wattles. The Boronia Hill Reserve was made possible by a donation from a group of visionary local women who gave part of the proceeds of the sale of their Kingston Beach craft gallery to Council to be spent in maintaining and enhancing Boronia Hill Reserve.
Access from Carnation Terrace or the end of Hutchins Street
