Last weekend, we did take some time out, however, to spend a day walking in Muogamarra Nature Reserve, just north of here and just south of the Hawksbury River. Muogamarra is part of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, but a very special part. It's closed to the public all but 6 weekends of the year, in spring when the wild-flowers are at their most spectacular. A huge array of species, from Acacia, Grevillea, Boronia, Telopea, Bankia, and various pea flowers, all combining to create the most absurd display of colour.
I hope these images will give a sense of its magnificence.
Australia's nature really has the capacity to write about everyday. It is so beautiful here, and on birds, I strongly agree with you. Birds are something really especial here. It causes me great joy to find a bird which is new to me. I enjoy watching them and listening to their vast range of sounds and songs.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that is absolutely gorgeous! I have heard of Muogamarra Nature reserve before, but never really appreciated its exceptional beauty. Thank you for opening my eyes. I shall keep an eye out for when it is next open and definitely go for a visit.
ReplyDeleteNotomys, you won't regret it, I promise. It should be open in the next month or so. I know I'll be back, and I'll take my tripod so I can get some good images.
