The weather started out a bit grey today so we went for a bush walk from the campite. There is a long distance walking track that passes through the campsite called the 'Cape to Cape' track. It takes three days to walk it. We spent a couple of hours! Ali just realised that what goes down must come up! The Cape to Cape Track |

A fire had swept through the area a couple of years ago but as you can see, it doesn't take long for the plants to re-establish themselves. A lot of the smaller shrubs and flowers thrive as the light is not blocked by the tree canopy. Bush Flowers |

We found 5 different orchids beside the track, here are a couple of them: Left: Donkey Orchid There are over a hundred different orchids in this area. |

We decided to make use of the free firewood that evening and cooked dinner in one of the fireplaces. The wood was a bit green which made it a bit smokey but at least it kept the mossies away. Camp Fire |
