Berowra Valley NP train - bike - walk : October 24 2025
The morning drifted away - not doing nothing but catching up on a big week of investing accounting. Before I knew the available train to train - bike - walk was 1pm. Not a lot of time to walk and get back on the train before the school kids become a problem
The mission was to look for hyacinth orchids I saw budding last time and see if there were any flying ducks. View across the Hawkesbury River - what caught my eye was the new life on the tree in centre frame
What was 4 orchid spikes last time us now 5. The bad news is all 5 have been chomped off. My friend tells me the wallabies like them. And it was probably pre-flowering which would be of no interest to humans. Humans do like picking the flowers when they are open
Grey spider grevillea - my friend calls them woolly. A good name
Yesterday I shared a flower with the same shape as this but with wider leaves. I do know this is narrow-leafed hemigenia
A grand scribbly gum - no snake orchids evident
Did find a flying duck orchid in a spot earlier than seen before. This one is a bit drilled by bugs
Red spider grevillea. Was tossing around in my head doing a slower more detailed walk and then cycling all the way back. Decided I did not want to deal with Friday school traffic through the busy parts
Decided to get back to the train and not do side trips. Hibbertia on the way
Stopped for a leak behind a big tree off track - right there were a few bearded orchids - now seeded. A shorter walk for next season as I know here they are
I know about this one - calochilus robertsonii
Your superhero did sport his new haircut for a selfie at Berowra Station. Was way cooler and less weight on the neck
The train part was a bit of a mystery tour. The boards had shown two trains going my way - but only one train on the platform. Got on that - the board says via Gordon. Good. The train guard announces via Strathfield - not good. Stay put - can always get out and ride from Hornsby. As it happens the boards were right and the train home had no kids
Ride done - been a low month for Kids Cancer but I have done lots of steps. Why? Am walking the 7 Bridges on Sunday for Cancer Council NSW in memory of my niece who died with breast cancer a little while back
You can help out - donate here https://mclnks.com/7bridges OR send some HIVE or HBD with 7Bridges as the memo - I will get the cash to the charity
Walked up to shops late - sufar needed for apple tart for my brother-in-law. His birthday yesterday
Did cook macaroni cheese for dinner - it uses a lot of old cheese.
Did get a photo of my granddaughter - now 4 months old
Edit: Deleted the photo - family rules

Such a meaningful day , combining your love for nature with a heartfelt cause is really inspiring. The orchid hunt and your walk for the Cancer Council show both passion and compassion. Beautifully written and full of purpose.
I love how you turned the whole day into an adventure with trains, biking, and hiking. Even with the little problems along the way, you still made great memories and found beautiful orchids. The part about walking in memory of your loved one was very touching.

Beautiful little girl, congratulations 🎊
Thanks - been missing you. I get to see her again on Sunday
Enjoy every second with her, I doubt get to see mine enough, miss her so much 😢
Off-road, whenever we go like this, walking and heading towards the forest, we start seeing more beauty and we also see many more different types of flowers.
