Camped: Yourdamung Campsite
After a longish rain shower at night we woke up to SUNSHINE! Could it be for real? Could it last the whole day???
It actually did!! How very exciting!! First day in a while without a drenching!
Near the start of today there were some very low hanging, tunnel creating , very wet plants that meant the rain jacket was coming in handy straight up!
Luckily this was just for a few hundred meters. Much of the track was 4WD to start with.
Today was actually very diverse: sandy, wet plains that had new wildflowers and orchids. Low lying wetlands and the Plonkhole all added to the variety!
Loads of different coloured flowers inside and out of the water. It felt like a flower safari! Spotted many spider orchids, purple enamel orchids, blue sky orchid and the orange and bright orange stars! Some areas were just covered in cowslip orchids too! I also spotted one kangaroo paw, a green one.
It was a very diverse day, which made it pleasant for sure!
Also, when getting to the top of the hill I got some phone signal after none or very poor for a few days. So I took a break on a big log and checked out what was happening- and the weather. And, yes, it’s going to rain for the next few days!!
Got into camp at about 12h15 and got everything out to dry, with the hope that I will actually have dry clothes tomorrow!
