Some rain was forecast, but by mid morning, the weather was quite reasonable, so I decided to do a local walk. This time I caught a bus to Earlwood, and started at Girrahween Park, and followed the Two Valleys Track through Wolli Creek Regional Park to the Cooks River junction, and then I walked up the Cooks River to the Marrickville Golf Course.
I mainly photographed fungi along Wolli Creek, and was pleased that some interesting species were out. I also photographed birds, and concentrated on this along the Cooks River.
So first, some of the fungi along Wolli Creek –
