Tuesday 5th November

We left Busselton at 10am, heading 81km south to Augusta. We had a brief tea stop at the big layby on the Bussell HW where we found the expected orchids. I have been here several times, but it was a good way to kill some time before getting to the campground.
This is a new camping place for us, called Munday Camp Ground. It is quite small, only 8 or 10 sites, surrounding the owner's house. We back on to bush, which is nice, though orchid free!
After lunch I wanted to check to see if the Albany Spider orchids were flowering on Jewel Cave Rd. They have just started. We also saw Forest Mantis, Common Mignonettes, Karri Spiders, Suns, & lots of finished orchids, including Southern Curly Locks, I think.
I did one of my favourite “cheat” meals, Woolworths cooked roast chicken & all the trimmings.

We took our time. With only a short distance to travel we wanted to be sure that any previous occupant of our site had actually departed! The latest departure time is usually either 10am or 11am. We dragged it out so that we arrived well after 11. Having a leg-stretch in the arvo was a good idea, with several orchids found.
