WILDFLOWERS IN SEPTEMBER

  On Tuesday 6^th some of us envied the group of bushwalkers we met, setting out from Staples Lookout on the 4 hour loop-trail through Brisbane Water National Park to Mt Wondabyne.  It was a glorious Spring day for our half day Village bus outing to view the wildflowers and we’d stopped at Staples Lookout on Woy Woy Road to admire the excellent views over Woy Woy Bay and Brisbane Water.  We were greeted by the melodious call of a Grey Shrike-Thrush.

  More water views were appreciated when we had a brief stop for morning tea and a chat, in the small reserve at Correa Bay at the bottom of Bulls Hill, Woy Woy.

  When we reached the area of Brisbane Water National Park off the road to Patonga, some of us were able to get up close to the wildflowers as we strolled along the sandy road towards Warrah Trig and later in the area known as the Waratah Patch.  Others happily relaxed in the bus, spotting the majestic displays from their seats.

The Spring wildflower displays were spectacular

AND the waratahs were in full bloom.

thank you Robin for the story and photos
