Study site 1 is located on the South side of Sugarloaf hill. It has a thick, diverse layer of ground cover plants and shrubs. The walking track is 1.5m wide at this site.
Study site 2 is located on the North side of Sugarloaf hill. It has a much thinner layer of ground cover plants. The walking track is 2-3m wide at this site due to erosion.
