More Sydney High Blue Gum forest walks : July 10 2025
Got a blue sky day for a different walking day. Dropped my wife's car off for registration inspection in the next suburb along. Idea is to walk back home through on of the remnant Sydney High Blue Gum forests
Have walked this reserve before - do hope to find orchids
New signage out up by National Parks - previously we had to follow our noses to know where to go
Fab high trees on the path that cuts through the middle of the reserve - too many ferns for orchids
A few orchid leaves on the upslope coming away from the creek - acianthus orchid - no flowers
Did find one flower spike higher up - flower is gone. Had seen nodding orchids here in prior seasons - walked along the edge of forest - couod not find any. Turned around to walk back and found them
Nodding greenhood - pterostylis nutans
Angle from the front - focus is better
Checked the map and doubled back to find a path to walk back home - nice cluster of greenhood rosettes - one budding
Another cluster - includes a few acianthus leaves
Found the sealed track through the bush - sign posted as a bike route. Follow that
Path follows the creek to reach a cross street
Track meets the road - follow the signs
Photo does not capture the steepness of this hill for the bike route - seriously steep for a 100 metre climb
Discover all stors of stuff on new routes - the local substation and a brush turkey posing
Fab old Queenslander cottage along the way with bullnose verandah
Next gap along offers a better angle
Back to the bike path which cuts through Richmond Park. Walked that a few days ago
This is also a remnant forest - turpentine ironbark.
Did the bus to get back in the afternoon to puck up the car. A little shopping on the way home - then into the city by train to meet friends for a few drinks.
Dinner: Leftovers
Did finish review post for Kevin Fahey's Feee Post Zone

Small creek with gorgeous ferns would make an interesting explore.
Have a great weekend.
