SHE
SAID:
Our
touring day had us heading for the Chiltern/Mount Pilot National Park
today. I chose the section close to Beechworth, with the first stop
at the Woolshed Falls, which had heaps of water flowing over it. It looked great.
I
found orchid basal leaves in the area, but no flowers.
We
drove the Indigo Gold Trail to El Dorado, though we came up empty
handed, finding NO gold. Then
it was a yummy pie for lunch, at the Beechworth Bakery. Geoff was
satisfied I think.
There
were great views from the top of Mount Pilot. Geoff thinks he saw
snow on the alps; that's as close as I want to get to it!
Sadly,
we had no luck spotting the ghost fungus (it glows in the dark) that
is in the forest around here. I think we are too late.

The creek along the Indigo Gold Trail to El Dorado;
it would be a great camping spot in the warmer months

The Beechworth Bakery makes a good pie. Expensive, but good. Their pastries go alright too, although we gave the snickerdoodle a miss this time. It is over-rated.
