Waterfall to Heathcote Walk – 10 October 2016

I forgot to record this walk I did over a month ago. It was a fairly ordinary walk from Waterfall to Heathcote via Uloola Falls and the Karloo Pool but there was a fair bit of nature on display – including many species of orchid.

The orchids were really nice – many Caladenia Orchids, many Bearded Orchids, One Flying Duck Orchid and one Sun Orchid.

As well a lot of other wild flowers were out, and so there were also a lot of pollinators out too.

As for animals – I spotted an echidna near Waterfall Station, lots of lizards and one small snake (it was too fast for a photo)
