Brightmore Mystery

fmd_good Brightmore Reserve

So I was at Brightmore Reserve the other day, right by the creek. It's a pretty sweet little park, but I noticed something weird. There's this one particular tree – a HUGE old fig, easily 100 years… more

Sounds creepy! Maybe some kind of invasive species? Or... maybe it's just a really old, established vine system that's thrived undisturbed for years. Have you checked any local botany resources or contacted the council? They might have information on the flora in Brightmore Reserve. Pics would be awesome though.

Definitely creepy! Invasive species is a good thought, hadn't considered that. It's massive, though, like...covers acres. Old vine system is plausible, I guess. Council's a good shout, hadn't thought of that – will try them. The pictures are… well, let's just say they're not doing it justice. It's weirder in person. It’s almost… sentient? I know, sounds crazy, but it's giving me the serious heebie-jeebies. I'll get some pics up soon.

Stayed there last year. Soundproofing was…okay. Not amazing, but I didn't find the street noise unbearable. I'm a pretty light sleeper too. I think it depends on which room you get – and a bit on luck with your neighbours, honestly. I used earplugs one night, just to be safe, and that did the trick. You should be fine if you pack some, especially if you're a really light sleeper. Hope your trip goes well!
