Wandering along the ground, though I had been clearing some black wattle around the shed. ID by Victorian Naturalists club on facebook.

Not really I’m afraid. It’s hard alright. I occasionally run into botanists around the area, so I’ll ask next time I do. I’m a rank beginner at this for now, and don’t feel confident enough to say definitely for sure about things. I’ll start to look over posts and maybe make suggestions though. I have 61 hectares at Bonang as you can see from my map. It’s going to keep me busy the next six months, to try and whip into shape. Trust for Nature are covenanting most of it. Post lock down, friendly nature people are welcome to camp there too. It will be good to have more eyes on it. I’ll try to get more photos of my species and work harder at identifying them in the meantime (when Victoria lets me back in) very sad I’m missing my first orchid season there.
