[Man From Ironbark]

On Friday I went for a walk on a local hill. We don't have much in the way of hills around here. However, they are places that are difficult to dig or grow anything. It is the last vestige of bushland largely not dug up.
What looks like dry rocks and dead grass most of the time can become quite floriferous when we have rainy seasons. Dainty flowers but quite attractive.







Dominant trees that reestablish after fires on the stony hills are the wattle Acacia doratoxylon and what we call white cypress but it is actually Callitris.


a fallen wattle flower.


Amongst the undergrowth are several species of terrestrial orchids, lilies and too many species to mention.
