Sunday 10^th November

SHE SAID:

I made us a cooked breakfast around 9am; it has been a while since we had one.

Around 10am we went off for a few hours looking for orchids. We didn’t have any luck at the first road we went down, though Geoff tested out the “diff-locks” on the car. We had a couple of deepish looking puddles to get through. Thankfully we didn’t get stuck!

Next, we headed down Dennis Rd in hopes of finding a burn; yes, we did! Though, there wasn’t much in it; a single Karri Spider, Blue Lady Sun & some White Fairies.

As expected we had more luck at the stops along Milyeannup Coast Rd. They were places we’ve stopped in the past. We found Spiders, Enamels, Suns, Mignonettes & Pink Enamels. I think the total was 12 types for the trip.

Back at the campground we had late nibbles outside followed by a fire around 5pm. It was a warm afternoon, so I managed to sit outside by the toasty fire for a couple of hours!

We enjoyed a bacon, fried egg, and baked beans breakfast. So tasty. Topping up with elevenses meant that I was happy with just cheese and crackers for a very late lunch. 

Having a fire when camping is just great. Sitting outside, staying warm, enjoying the night; it's a pleasure.
