Spring had arrived! It was time to visit the wildflowers of the Curra Moors in Royal National Park. Valerie had suggested this as a walk, and I was glad to be able to join her. The display of wildflowers was simply stunning!
At the carpark of the Curra Moors Track, we spotted quite a few Caladenia sp. Orchid.
As well as flowers there are some great Angophora costata along where –
And more orchids –
The Boronia was out –
We saw quite a few Waratahs –
And other wildflowers –
The track was muddy and wet in spots, but the flowers made up things.
Native Iris
Isopogon sp.
Native Iris
More Waratahs –
And plenty more flowers –
Grass Tree
Drosera sp.
Kunzea sp.
Blandfordia nobilis
Grass Tree
Grevillea sp.
Dotted Sun Orchids
And some birds. First a Chestnut-rumped Heathwren –
New Holland Honeyeater
Then we arrived at the Coastal Cliffs.
We admired the waterfall where Curracurrong Creek tumbles into the sea.
And nearby was Eagle Rock.
After lunch we climbed out to Eagle Rock.
Then we walked south along the Coastal Track towards Garie.
A few more birds. Another New Holland Honeyeater –
Tawny-crowned Honeyeater
A few of the Gymea Lilies were flowering –
A Peregrine Falcon flew past at speed –
And walking back around the loop, we spotted a few more Sun Orchids – but not open yet.
Despite the track being wet and muddy in places, it was well worth the effort to see the flowers. A lot more flowers should be out over the next few weeks.
