The sun came out. Been rainy for days. Trains running for the weekend - not been doing that for a while. Took the chance to catch the train up to Berowra to walk a section of fire trails up there not walked before starting from where I have walked

alt

A few street flowers on the way - iNat says this is a cestrum originally from America

alt

Agave flower - seems early

alt

Gum nut in yellow

alt

Walked into Berowra Valley NP where I walked out the last few walks. Do know there are orchids down this trail

alt

Native violet for my granddaughter Violette

alt

Fab mushroom display in good light - a tiny blue one in the mix

alt

Fringed mushroom find with orchid leaves

alt

Mushroom and orchid leaves 2

alt

Did find helmet orchids about where Insaw them last walk. Darkening colour suggests end of season for spurred helmet orchids. Last walk there were heaps flowering

alt

Always good to find a second flower open

alt

Greenhood rosette - probably sharp greenhood - and a tuber above ground

alt

Joalah FT joins Berkeley FT - first time walking to the right. I normally walk out the way I came in. Nice wide trail - let's see how the track work affected orchid populations on the edges. Front end of the walk is still rain forest

alt

First new find on a new track - mayfly orchid - acianthus caudatus

alt

Cryptostylis leaf - tongue orchid

alt

Orchid leaf for spring - maybe a sun orchid

alt

Chiloglottis orchid leaves

alt

Sydney boronia

alt

Back to mushroom and orchid leaf theme

alt

Greenhood rosette - maybe nodding greenhood

alt

Found a few more orchid clusters in the rainforest section - spurred helmet orchid - 2nd cluster for the day

alt

In the same cluster a seeded greenhood orchid - probably sharp greenhood. A lot up and down this trail

alt

Corybas aconitiflorus showing the spurs well

alt

Checked the rosette - a twisty flower spike working its way past obstacles

alt

Intersect the Great North Walk back to Crosslands and Hornsby beyond

alt

Part of me wants to walk the whole thing but the one big segment I did was hard work with not a lot of orchid reward

alt

Nadu Lookout down to the river - creek or river I do not know

alt

Signs of spring weeks early

alt

More - dampiera purpurea

alt

NSW coral heath flower

alt

Chose not to walk down to Berowra Waters- could not get clear information on whether there was a bus up to the station. Quicker to walk the direct way along the road

alt

Intersect the road from the ferry. Last been this way on a bicycle

A big walk. More than expected. Good to find orchids on a new track

My wife was helping a friend make some new slacks. Was taking a lot longer than expected. Landed up cooking dinner for the two ladies. Peking duck and Hungarian goulash plus veges
