Moora-bound again! We came through this small town on a day trip at the
beginning of this 5 week trek, & have returned to meet again with
the WANSOCG group for an orchid hunt in a few of the reserves in this
area.
As
soon as we had set up we headed back to Candy’s Bush Reserve, as the
Moora Spider Orchid is out there & I was keen to see it. I did, &
it is so pretty. Mostly they are a creamy/ white/ yellow colour, but
they randomly come out pink. We saw all the colours today. Also we
found Donkey Orchids, & 2 types of Greenhoods! Happy me.

An uneventful drive to Moora. Set up camp. A quick look around, finding some orchids. Lunch. Letting Varena zoom off without me for more orchids. Same old...
