Was going to be a big day. We have a long weekend away. Plan is for me to drive down south and my wife will travel down by train from work. My job - sort out stuff at home and pack the car. Drove to a station down south.
Used the time to go walking in Royal National Park directly from the station. Not walked this track before
Royal is known for banksias - this one with fine yellow flowers
Never know what I will find on a new track. Thus one is an MTB track - lots of muddy bits
Sky is blue and this side of the hill is sheltered from the big wind
Spider grevillea
Mini flannel flower
I did promise banksias
Hibbertia is a photo challenge
Long spike banskia
I ignored this sign on the way down - not to worry I was there in daylight. Weird that they choose to shoot deer at night
Still a few of these flowering - less than on my local tracks
Pea flower
One more banksia in great afternoon light
Turned around to track back to Engadine Creek
Found the only evidence of living orchids at the creek - a rosette of greenhoods
Back to the top of the ridgeline and found these little purple flowers. I can think of two orchids that will flourish up here in summer
Found the cross track down to Audley - next time I will go down there
One more spider grevillea
The track is a cycling track that has gouged out a furrow at least 2 foot deep. One could not pedal as the pedals would hit the bank
Walked into town to do the essential shopping - needed two shops to get what was needed. Time enough to drink a beer before the train arrived
I did the driving to get down to Shoalhaven Heads. Cooking dinner in the new place took a while. It did work. Bbq always works.
Turned into a big day - packing, walking, shopping, cooking
Trade action: Bought AMLP to replace OILG.SW sold earlier this week.
