Back to Seven Mile Beach NP : April 18 2025

A bit of a restless night with some weird dreams. Headed out earlier to do a long walk in Seven Mile Beach NP. Key step was to prepare for the mosquitos - long pants, boots and socks pulled up over the pants. Bushman insect repellent and a hat for the bald patch.

Walking the section I gave up on the day before. Was looking for mosquito and helmet orchids - did get a budding acianthus orchid - not quite in focus

Greenhood rosette - a few more clusters than last year

Budding helmet orchid - feels like a week away. This was the only bud I saw

Better developed acianthus orchid - maybe not the same as the other

Australian native violet

Photo challenge for the day - half the size of a US penny

A different greenhood

Scurvy weed deep in the bush

Speckled mushroom with a small orchid leaf showing - the heart shape

A touch of brown for this mushroom. Fewer mushrooms this time compared with last year

Went back to the track walked yesterday to get better photos of chiloglottis diphylla

Of note is many of the flowers open the day before were closing - a sample

A zoom test- from afar

Closer in

Ride done - computer did track both legs today - got to double yesterday to be right and the route in and out were not the same

Friends over for dinner - lamb backstrap and beef eye fillet on the bbq and potatoes and veges cooked inside

Lamb cooked Moroccan style - coriander and cumin and paprika and garlic and salt. Marinated for a couple of hours- cooked on bbq with a little oil. Served with plain yoghurt and chopped mint. For the rest we had tomato and basil salad, and asparagus and baby potatoes
