Wednesday 13th November

SHE SAID:

ORCHIDS, ORCHIDS, ORCHIDS. What a great day out!

Between us we found 16 different orchids on the back roads south of the Muir Highway, despite it getting to the end of the season. All but one site was new to us, too!

From Spider Orchids, to Birds, Cowslips, Suns, Mignonettes & heaps of very cute Pink Beaks in a burn. I was happy-dancing around the bush! We also encountered a couple of distant Emus, scared a few Kangaroos, & came across a “digging for dinner Goanna”.

HE SAID:

We had a fairly long day out, but we found plenty of orchids. So, Varena was very happy! Lunch and elevenses sustained me. In fact, I had a very tasty choc chip biscuit for elevenses, and Varena decided to wait until after lunch, to have hers, and guess who saw most of the orchids before lunch? Proof is in the pudding (or biscuit!).
