We had found the Woolly Tea-trees in our
search area, but no paths to follow - we parked the car at the only
available spot and Mischa led the way over the road and down into the
closest thicket. We soon realised this must be the place as the
undergrowth was well trodden. We searched on and finally found the
tiniest of greenhoods. I started to photograph them but soon found
myself swatting mozzies rather than picture taking. I got out and
found my spray and head gear and tried again. This time they kept
their distance and I could concentrate on the job. On the way out we found 2 types of Sickle Greenhoods so we had a good time. Fortunately we found then last as we might not have searched on for our quarry if we had found them first up. Photographed in the Port Campbell area. |
