We stopped the car in the carpark as you do.
Amazingly, these orchids were just in front of the car. It always
pays to look! Last year we knew where they were but after 10 hours of searching over a 3 week period we did not find one. This year we just had to get out of the car. Character building someone said! Photographed at Wilsons Promontory. |
