Bushwalk Australia

I am interested in cutting some of my own bamboo in Melbourne in order to experiment with making bushwalking things (e.g. walking poles - just for fun). I know there are some varieties that grow in Melbourne's climate so does anyone know of some wild stands on public land where it would be legal to cut (since it is not native, I can't see there could be a law against removing it unless in the Botannic Gardens!).

Damn, I was going to suggest speaking to the head gardener at the Botanic Gardens.

Good idea! I might try that, although I would not have the pleasure of harvesting it myself...
