Eggbert's Travels

Friday 20^th July

SHE SAID:

Geoff & I headed south to Taree, then into the Brimbin Nature Reserve, which is north west of the town; I had spoken with a local yesterday who suggested it would be a good place to find orchids. He was right. 

We found 5 different flowering orchids & 3 further lots of orchid leaves. But all we have seen before in the Port Macquarie area.

We took morning tea & lunch, enjoying the peace & quiet of nature with no one else around.

HE SAID:

Another good day out in the bush. Varena always makes a nice picnic lunch that we take along, and that I enjoy. We found orchids from our first stop of the day, and all along the few kilometres walk at our last - Brimbin. Varena was very happy at the quantity of the flowers, but quickly became a little peeved that we kept seeing dozens and dozens of the same few varieties.

Continuing with my generator sale attempt on eBay, there has been no payment, and no response to the invoice. A buyer has 48hrs to pay I found out. So again, watch this space, but I am not hopeful.
