Sojourns


Trek the Trail walk from Parkerville to Swan View.
We had a perfect day to walk the 8.4kms through forest,
beside waterfalls and through an old railway tunnel.


Relaxing at home.
And I have the honour of washing his clothes!

September orchids

I found this tiny Pink Fairy Orchid right in the middle of the firebreak (clearings around the property). It is so tiny, smaller than a 5c (sixpence).
Caladenia latifolia


This is a Silky Blue orchid. Not so many of these this year, so far anyway.
We received only half our average rainfall this winter so
maybe it will make a difference.
Cyanicula sericea

And here is the amazing Jug Orchid.
Pterostylis recurva
