This was another very pleasant day in the bush on a walk in Royal National Park led by Brian Everingham for the National Parks Association of NSW. At the present time, there is an amazing display of wild flowers in the bush near Sydney. Its well worth getting out.
After meeting at Engadine Station, we set off along the track towards Kangaroo Creek. In the party, as well as Brian and myself were Roger, Sue, Valerie, Trish, Helen W, Pat, Alan, Diane, Margaret, Helen D, Esther and Hildegard. Our walk to the creek was punctuated by a lot of photo stops. There were lots of beautiful flowers to enjoy, and this included many species of Orchids.
We stopped for morning tea at Kangaroo Creek, then climbed up and completed the loop around Robertsons Knoll before descending to the creek again. There we stopped for lunch before returning to Engadine Station the same way we had come.
Here are some Orchids –
And some of the other flowers –
