Mary and Summercloud Bays (Booderee National Park Board of Management 2002). These sites demonstrate past cultural practices and the BUNAN are spiritually important to the Wreck Bay community.

Condition and Integrity:

Natural Values:

The majority of the Jervis Bay Territory is still in a natural state. However, small areas have been cleared for the Jervis Bay Village, University of Canberra Field Station, Jervis Bay Range Facility, Jervis Bay Botanic Gardens and Christians Minde. Approximately 350 hectares of blackbutt (Eucalyptus Pilularis) dry forest were logged in the 1950s and planted with pines. Smaller areas of blackbutt wet sclerophyll forest near Murrays Beach were also logged. Pine plantations have since been removed and both forest types are regenerating.

Cleared areas behind Bherwerre Beach have been stabilised by the planting of marram grass (Ammophila arenaria), spinifex (Spinifex sericeus), Acacia sophorae, Leptospermum laevigatum, and bitou (Chrysanthemoides monolifera subsp. rotundata). The site now supports a shrubland dominated by the latter three species. Bitou has become a major weed, with widespread infestations in the place. Control measures hold the infestation at its current level. Another major weed infestation occurs on Bowen Island, where kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) grows in Lomandra longifolia tussock rushland. This infestation has been reduced through control measures.

Foxes are common and subject to an ongoing control program.

Soil on part of the Jervis Bay Range Facility has been contaminated by fuel sources. The source of the contamination has been removed. (April 2001).

Values at the airfield and associated infrastructure are no longer present.
