Shoalhaven Heads to home via Darkes Forest : March 26 2026
Last day of the road trip. Washed the car to get rid of 100 kms of gravel driving the day before
The car aficionados will know this is a pretty special car from the Subaru rally factory. The cable tie repair is holding well
Plan was to walk Dharawal NP in pursuit of midge orchids - a track walked quite a few times
A life skill - telling a 9 from a 4. 4 and no walk allowed. 9 and safe for a few days. It is a 9 - no shots heard
Start up with banksia shots - spiky leaf version
Broad smooth leaf version
Did not take long to find a midge orchid. This one started its journey after the edged were strimmed maybe a week or two ago
Close up of corunastylis fimbriatus
Next flower along - getting ready to close up shop for the season
Pea flower
More corunastylis fimbriatus
Sundew flower
Fringed midge orchid - found 15 or so on the east side of the track. Every one on the west side had seeded
One more shot for the different background - a flat rock rather than a leaf - corunastylis fimbriatus
A splendid banksia flower on the way down to Maddens Falls
NSW coral heath flower - epacris pulchella
Tiny mushroom action in the road way edges
So not like white - try mustard.
New season orchid leaf action - probably a bearded orchid
Flower spike for a horned orchid
Top flower still holding its shape after pollination - orthoceras strictum
Narrow-leafed hemigenia
Found one midge orchid flowering on the return side of the road - west side. Saw the black spots on downloading the photos
Prodded them out - some kind of worm - slug thing
Tiny mushroom in black
Last of the fringed midge orchids for the day
Closer in on corunastylis fimbriatus
A few purple fan flowers about
And a tear-drop flower - a violet for my granddaughter Violette
Drove down to Maddens Falls loop - disappointed to find Darkes Cider is not open on Monday to Wednesday. I do like their beer. Woolsia pungens on the track down tothe water
Reflections in the still water above the falls
Top and bottom captured
Why walk the extra? Had seen a greenhood last season - leaf form first
My recall is this was pterostylis acuminata but the detail does not match - no sharp point and the labellum is green
Back to the guides
Upside down flower from below
Orchids found - two types
Wad good to get home and to cook dinner for my wife - been a good road trip away
Shopped on the way home
