Mt Colah to Asquith NP walk for spring orchids : August 5 2025

avatar

Sun came out after a week of rain. Plan for the day is to get out for a bush walk. Train to Mt Colah a day then walk into Ku-ring Gai Chase NP

View across the top of Mt Colah station

Old style house with signs of spring

Old Lodge building on the corner of the National Park - work being done

Walked to the entry of the National Park

Pink grevillea

Was looking for spring orchids - signs of orchids past

Grey spider greviilea. Long walk down one side track - was hoping to find caladenia orchids - none

Sprinkles of white on tiny heath flowers

Purple pea flower

Yellow pea flower

Found a budding sun orchid - last year there were flowers already at this time

Lichen flourishing after the rain

Ground level pea flower different to the others - all yellow

Seeded midge orchid from last season

Sydney boronia

Sundew flower - about the size of a US penny

Stopped to check a noise - looked up - snake orchid up a tree in a typical spot. Just above where the escarpment drops off

Next version of a pea flower just opening up

Purple dampiera

Hibbertia

Woolsia pungens - a hard photo subject - happy with this one

Chose to walk back to Asquith station rather than go back to Mt Colah. Empty house on a cut through alley going down to the Asquith Golf Course

Asquith golf course busy on a nice dsy for golf - dry and no wind

Was asked to share photos of trains - the current range of commuter trains

Completes another station to station walk. The exit from the NP is about equidistant - next time will take the bicycle

Stopped for shopping on the way home

Did cook dinner for myself. Jazzed up left overs. Wife sick from anti-biotics

It’s good that you finally have the sun
It’s been raining here for the past four days…

When it rains for so long, we ourselves are looking for the sun. All these plants and flowers look much more beautiful. You have worked very hard to create these rare pictures.
