We spent a very interesting day round and about the small township of Wooli, which is encased by Yuragir National Park on the north coast.
G discovered the wonderful photographs of Roger Welch while seeking to identify some wildflowers he had seen on our travels.
Roger pursues elusive flowers in the northern part of NSW and SE Queensland, his main joy being to photograph and identify them. He very generously uploads his stunning photos to a gallery that you can find
here.
Roger very kindly invited us to go wildflower searching last weekend so we took ourselves off to Wooli and picked up our friends P and D on the way.
D is as crazy about flowers as G is - P and I went along for the ride.
It was a glorious day.
The river estuary at Wooli was looking gorgeous.
Roger brought along spotter and neighbour Bruce who is an orchid fanatic.
Much consulting of plant books followed.
And lots of getting down on hands and knees to photograph wee blooms.
We foraged by the road sides and scrambled into drains!
G took lots of photos but they are not available yet.
Bruce and Roger even supplied morning tea which we consumed at sweet little Minnie Waters. Then we shared lunch back at Roger's place.
The view from Roger's place is to die for!
We just had time for a dip in the river before this happened.
But we'll be back!
