Eggbert's Travels

Tuesday 18^th October 2016

SHE SAID:

With the orchid hunters from Sydney in town for a couple of days I had the morning out at Aranda Bushland with them (Jan & Margaret), & the local expert Cathy. We found at least 8 different types.

Then we moved across to Black Mountain, where there were a further 6 different ones, plus many of the same ones as at Aranda. It was a good but windy day... not great for photos of tiny flowers!
