This orchid was proving hard to find, we knew it was in the area, but no exact location.  We had found at least 7 other orchids over the last 2 hours - but we continued for another 2 till we finally found it.  Good exercise is part of a healthy orchid finders daily habit - just like choc late!  Yes we were happy campers!

Photographed at One Tree Hill, Lower section.
