How good is this trip. Each day we take it in turns to drive out off camp first. 
The leaders job is to do the spotting, weather it be wildlife, flowers or a place to camp at the end of the day.
Nothing is planned ahead, so stopping and wandering into the bush every few kilometers, is great, although I am always last to get back into the car and often hear a car horn giving me the hurry up !
So many beautiful little orchids can be found once you know what to look for, some are only a few centimeters high, and hidden amongst the scrub.
It becomes a real challenge trying to find different varieties.
When we pull up we wander in different directions and then yell to each other, when we find some.
I don’t think any of us realized how much enjoyment we would have doing the wildflower trails.
We are finding that gravel pits and quarries are good to make our camp in. The areas are big enough that we can spread out, have a decent campfire, and no one else around. Neil can have his country music …loud.
