Beach Road and Seven Mile Beach NP orchids for Kids Cancer : October 2 2025
Sure was good not hearing the people above in the early hours. No loo flush. No banging doors. Did get the weird dreams - back being a soldier dreams - those go back a while. My wife headed out to her craft group at 7:30 - took me a while to get moving. But day 2 of Great Cycle Challenge for Kids Cancer said get riding. I did
Photo up to Coolangatta Mountain with the dragon in front of Mountain Ridge Wines
Took the side road down Agars Lane to get downwind on a windy day - a few houses along the way
Great framing up to the tablelands
View across the swamp toward Berry. Too bad the yellow flowers in the field are fire weed = not a good weed. Can only be pulled out or get goats
Been riding past this cottage on Beach Road for 3 years now. Looks like a classic country place
In those 3 years they have not completed the place next door. Getting close. Maybe the crap that is on the front porch will find a place under cover
Took the side road down from Harley Hill - not done that before - a bit closer to Woodhill Mountain. Dead end - turned back
Spied this echidna on road side. Normally they hide when humans approach. Not this guy - he wanted to cross the road
Did the GCC superhero thing and waited till he had crossed the road safely
Next stop the South Beach Access on Seven Mille Beach. Parked the bike and right there was this orchid - painted fingers and all
Paper daisies close by - a bit past their best
Walked one side track - quite a few of these pink orchids. Structure says calaenia catenata. A few things are not consistent - shorter and more round petals, carmine bands between the lobes
Three flowers together - all much the same
They always say colour is not a good indicator for orchid ID - a food example here - deeper pink but all else is the same - no bands either
Pointy fingers vs dumpy fingers. A lot more calli on the labellum and on the front edges. The previous one had none of those
On the edge of the cabbage palm zone - time to turn back
One last check for ID - a few carmine bands. Some calli on the edges of the petals up front
Got a bigger ride done - bigger than the last few months - say 5. Did find new orchids. Did ride further than the day before. Those few extra kms got me close to the 20 kms a day average for Kids Cancer. Donate here https://mclnks.com/kidscancerride
Drove up to Berry Markets - a small country market - good to top up with fruit and veges
Friends came over for dinner. I did fresh left-overs - a few dishes cooked from scratch from left over cuts plus a few defrostees. Worked out well
A good day - longer ride for a while. Survived the wind
