These are a little bit late in being posted - they are from a wonder I had on the 31st October.

Hardenbergia (?)

larger yellow pea flower with a multi-headed white flower

not sure if this is native or not..

Stunning yellow orchid

this is the vine from the last post - it has come into full bloom now


the vine over some waratahs

another waratah

and finally I catch a photo of a birdie - a crimson rosella I think

some lovely fungi

a fern gully

these fern trees are actually quite large - about twice as tall as me


I have no idea what this small shrub is - I'll have to wait until it flowers

This was a very cute creature! Very hard to photograph - I had to use a flash. He looks like some kind of moth or beetle?

and this is his house

These look like giant caves, but the whole thing is only about 50cm high. Caves for ants!

and some rock and trunk textures..

I took these photos when I was walking around last week. If anyone can help identify these flowers, I would love it.

Such a tiny little flower - I almost stepped on it.

Another tiny ground flower that reminds me of butterflies.

A little flower vine, gently climbing over twigs

A bright yellow pea-flower shrub - the shrubs were just over 2m tall. Is this something called 'Egg and Bacon Flower'?

A cute daisy stalk.

This fungi was on the underside of a mildly burnt log.

Maiden Hair Fern?

Ok, so this isn't alive, but I thought it made an interesting photo.

Banksia tree bark, slightly burnt.

Banksia canopy.

I grew up with May Gibbs' Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, so I can never resist the old Banksia Men.

Rock patterns and textures.

The waratahs are stunning at the moment! Though I have had several locals tell me it's not their best year. I have yet to find out which variety they are - first piece of research.

And I was quite surprised to find a couple of double headed stems -
The pods had their own unusual textures -
