Tour Report Wild Flowers of Western Australia

Leaders: Paul Harmes(tour Leader & Botanist) Alan Notley (tour Guide & Botanist) Doug Taggart (driver)

Tour participants: Rachel Benskin Juliet and Peter Dodsworth Pat Jones Bettye and John Reynolds Priscilla and Owen Silver.

Day 1 Friday 2nd September

Weather: Warm and Sunny in London. Hot (34 degrees) in Dubai.

Juliet, Peter and Rachel met with Paul at the boarding gate for Emirates flight EK002 Heathrow to Dubai, departing at 14-00hrs. However, due to industrial action by the in-flight meal providers, the flight was delayed for one and three-quarter hours, eventually taking off at 16-15hrs. Following a 7 hour flight we arrived in Dubai, where upon we had to make a quick dash across the airport to catch our connecting flight on to Perth.

Day 2 Saturday 3rd September

Weather: Hot in Dubai. Cloudy and hazy sunshire, 18 degrees in Perth.

The Emirates EK420 flight to Perth departed Dubai at 03-15hrs, arriving in Perth at 17-15hrs local time. After completing the immigration, customs and quarantine formalities, we met up with Doug Taggart, our Australian driver for the duration of the tour. Doug transported us into the city, showing us some of the sites on the way, including the Swan River and The Western Australian Cricket Ground, before taking us to The Miss Maudes Swedish Hotel, our base for the next two nights. After settling into our rooms, we met up with Pat, Bettye, John and Priscilla and Owen, who had all been slowly acclimatizing to the city, and introduced ourselves. From the hotel we walked the short distance to Hay Street and the Criterion Hotel Café, where we had a splendid dinner.

Day 3 Sunday 4th September

Weather: Warm and sunny mainly, but some cloud and a little rain in the afternoon.

After an early breakfast we gathered in the hotel lobby, at 08-30hrs, to meet Alan Notley, our local botanical guide, and Doug Taggart, our driver. After introductions, we set off for Kings Park. This triumph of local planning comprises a formal public open space and gardens, over-looking the Swan River and the City. It also has an extensive area of natural bushland. Alan began by taking us through the formal planted gardens, and gave us an early familiarization with the Western Australian flora and its various regions. Red Wattle-birds, Australian Magpies, Rainbow Lorikeets and a family of Australian Wood Duck were all seen. We also found Caladenia latifolia (Pink Fairy Orchid), and Microtis media ssp. media (Common Mignonette Orchid). Moving into the bushland, we took a walk, immediately finding Diuris corymbosa (Common Donkey Orchid), Sowerbaea laxiflora (Vanilla Lily) and Anigozanthos manglesii (Mangle’s Kangaroo Paw), Grevillias, Banksias, Myrtles and Eucalyptus

species were all seen. Ring-necked Parrots were also very much in evidence. From here we moved on to Herdsmans Lake. Here we saw Australian Shoveller, Musk Duck, Swamp (Marsh) Harrier and Grey Teal. Along the margins we found Yellow-billed Spoonbill, Purple Swamphen, Ducky Moorhen, Glossy Ibis and a Little Egret. and some obliging Welcome Swallow perched in a Bottlebrush Tree. After a brief stop, at the Grower’s Market at Wembley, to buy lunch, we drove out of the city to the Ellis Brook Valley Reserve, an area of semi- wooded slopes, old quarries and natural bush. Alan led us on a circular walk up to the ridge and down the other side. Along the route we saw Brown and New Holland Honeyeaters, Red-eared Firetails, Western Rosella and Red-capped Robin. Plants included, Trymalium ledifolium (Water-bush), Hibbertia hypericoides (Yellow Buttercups), Isopogon formosus (Rose Coneflower), Hakea trifuricata (Tow-leaved Hakea), Drosera micrantha (A Sundew) and Stypandra glauca (Blind Grass). As we neared the car park, a pair of Splendid Fairy-wrens were spotted in some Calathamnus bushes. Before leaving this wonderfully rich site, we had a brief stop at an area of open woodland by the entrance. Here we found Drosera heterophylla (A Sundew), Patersonia occidentalis (Blue Flag), the parasitic Nuytsia floribunda (Christmas Tree), Hakea lissocarpha (Honey Bush) and Hypocalymma angustifolium (Swan River Myrtle). Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike, White-checked Honeyeaters and Silvereyes were also seen and Weebill was heard. Reluctantly, we now had to make our way back into the city and back to our hotel to prepare for moving north tomorrow, and for dinner.

Day 4 Monday 5th September

Weather: Cloudy and warm with sunny periods and occasional rain.

After an early breakfast, we loaded our bags into the trailer and boarded our bus for the start of our journey of discovery of Western Australia. Leaving the city, we headed north to the outer suburb of Joondalup, where we picked up Alan. From here, we headed north and onto the Brand Highway, continuing on past Gingin, making our first stop in the Moore River National Park. Along the way, Straw-necked Ibis were spotted from the bus. We had a short time botanizing the margin of the reserve, whilst Doug prepared morning tea. Here we found, Blancoa canescens (Winter Bell), Calytrix tenuifolia, Aganozanthus humilis (Cat’s Paw) and Eucalyptus todtiana – Prickly Bark. Moving on we made a short stop for fuel, before continuing to Badgingarra and our main objective for the morning, Hi Vallee Farm. We made a short stop on the roadside at Cataby to see the splendid Eucalyptus macrocarpa (Mottlecah) in full flower, the largest flowered member of the Eucalyptus Genus. As we approached Hi Vallee Farm, on the main road, we saw a Wedge-tailed Eagle being mobbed by two Australian Ravens. Our hosts, Joy and Don Williams, greeted us with a welcome picnic lunch, fresh fruit and damper with golden syrup, all washed down with ‘billy tea’. The afternoon was spent with Don as our guide, walking in the natural bushland on his property. His vast and detailed knowledge was imparted in a clear, passionate and extremely informative way. He introduced us to some of the fascinating plant families, showed us some rare and unusual local specialties and opened our eyes to the richness and diversity of this part of Australia. Eucalyptus, Dryandra, Conospermum, Astroloma and Darwinia species were all present. After thanking our hosts, we bid our farewells to Hi Vallee and the group of Western Grey Kangaroos, we had been watching, and made our way to our final stop of the day at the Nambung National Park and the Pinnacles Desert. Nankeen Kestrel and Black-shouldered Kite were both spotted as we traveled. As we arrived, we had some very close views of an adult male Emu and his seven chicks. We were treated to a short, but splendid, sunset, which, set against these fantastic rock formations, was rather memorable. As the light began to fade, we drove the short distance to the Jurien Hotel Motel, for the night and a well earned dinner.

Day 5 Tuesday 6th September

Weather: Fine and cloudy with some sunny periods and the odd shower.

Following a splendid breakfast, we departed Jurien, continuing our journey northwards. We stopped briefly at Green Head where we saw Crested Terns as well as Scaevola crassifolia (Fanflower), Atriplex isotidia (Coastal Salt Bush) and Spiniflex longifolia (Hairy Spiniflex). As we moved north of Leeman, we spotted a flock of Stilts. These turned out to be Black-winged and Banded. A further short roadside stop produced Alyogyne huegelii (Lilac Hibiscus), Asphodelus fistulosus (Small Asphodel) and Eucalyptus dongarensis (Coastal Dongara Malle). During our stop, for morning tea, at Dongara, by the marina, we saw Little Pied Cormorant, Pied Cormorant, and Pacific Gull. Among the plants were two grasses, Stenotaphrum secundatum (Buffalo Grass) and Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda or Couch Grass). Lunch was taken by the sea in Geraldton. However, before we ate, we visited the HMAS Sydney 2nd Memorial to the six-hundred and forty-five souls who perished during this infamous incident. As we still had some distance to travel to our destination today, Kalbarri, we soon continued on our way. We made two further short stops, one at the Hutt Lagoon ‘Pink Lake’ to see Alyogyne hakeifolia (Hakea-leaved Hibiscus), sadly, not flowering, and one a short way from Kalbarri to see a wonderful patch of Leptosema aphylla (Ribbon Pea). Our main objective for the afternoon was the Wildflower Centre at Kalbarri. This is an area of natural bushland that has been opened up and had paths added. Many of the plants here are labelled to assist identification, although none of the plants are obviously planted, accept those in the immediate vicinity of the buildings. Here we made some progress with our identification of plant families. After this it was time to check into the Kalbarri Beach Resort Motel, and prepare for dinner.

Day 6 Wednesday 7th September

Weather: Cloudy and warm with a strong breeze.

The most part of today was spent in the Kalbarri National Park. The special Sandstone features and the Murchison River are situated about twenty seven kilometers from the gates of the Park. The sand roads are fairly hard going, but gave us opportunities make stops to study the flora. Our first such stop yielded Banksia sceptrum (Sceptre Banksia), Banksia victoriae (Wooly Orange Banksia), neither of which was in flower. We also found Pimelia floribunda (A Banjine) and Geleznowia verrcosa and Grevillea annulifera (Prickly Plume Grevillea). A second stop in the bush yielded Darwinia sanguinea, Grevillea didymobotrya and Pityrodia atriplicina. The first scheduled stop was at a lookout point, called ‘The Loop’, where we had good views of the Murchison River gorges and the surrounding bush. Here, we took morning tea and then went for a walk finding Grevillea petrophiloides (Pink Pokers) and Darwinia vestita (Pom Pom Darwinia), Acacia linophylla (Bowgada Bush), Calindrinia remota (Round- leaved Parakeelya) and Keraudrenia hermanniaefolia (Crinkle-leaved Firebush). During the walk we visited a viewpoint called ‘Natures Window’. Here took a walk along the ridge between the loops of the river, passing some magnificently formed sandstone cliffs and outcrops. After taking some pictures through the ‘Window’, we made our way back to the bus and moved to another area known as ‘Z Bends’, where we walked down to viewing platform over the Murchison River. Plants recorded included Trachymeme ornata, Burchardia rosea (Pink Milkmaids) and Stylidium elongatum (Tall Triggerplant). Retracing our tracks we made our way back to the vehicle for lunch. Hunger satisfied, our next port of call was a further short stop in the bush, where we saw Banksia prionotes (Acorn Banksia) and Banksia attenuata (Slender Banksia), before moving to the ‘Hawkshead’ area by the river, for a further two stops. The plants found included Alyxia buxifolia (Dysentry Bush) and Calothamus

sanguineus (A One-sided Bottlebrush). Here we began to see some interesting birds. Pied Butcher-bird, Variegated Fairy-wren and Chestnut-rumped Thornbill were but three. Leaving the National Park along the road leading back to Kalbarri, we made a stop to look at Veriticordia chrysantha (Feather Flower) and Grevillea leucopteris (Smelly Socks). Whilst we were there an Australian Bustard flew overhead. The last part of the day was spent down by the Sea at Red Bluff. Sadly we saw no whales, but we did see Australian Gannets fishing, Red-capped Plover, Sooty Oystercatchers and Ruddy Turnstones. From here we returned to our hotel for our evening meal.

Day 7 Thursday 8th September

Weather: Rain at times, some sun but mostly cloudy.

Leaving Kalbarri early, we made our way towards Northampton. Just after leaving we saw a Whistling Kite hunting. On the verge where we stopped to watch it, we found Pityrodia oldfieldii (A Foxglove) and Lachnostachys eriobotrya (Lambs Wool). About ten kilometers further on, we stopped by a patch of Grevillea leucopteris (Smelly Socks), because it had not been flowering when previously seen. We also found Calectasia grandiflora (Blue Tinsel Lily) and Orobanche minor (Common Broomrape). At Northampton we stopped for fuel and morning tea. During the break we saw an immature White-bellied Sea Eagle. From Northampton we travelled east via Nabawa to Tenindawa. Along the way we stopped at a small roadside Nature Reserve where we saw Hakea bucculenta (Red Pokers) and Ptilotus grandiflora ssp. grandiflora (Annual Mulla Mulla), Caledenia roei (Clown or Ant Orhid), and Caledenia longicauda ssp. eminens (Stark White Spider Orchid). Continuing onwards, we saw a flock of Little Corella in one field and a small group of Red-tailed Black Cockatoo in another. A brief stop at the glacial beds at Bindoo Hill in the Greenough river valley gave us a chance to see the remnants of the glacial morane and some different plants and Birds. White Fronted Chat and Australian Pipit were seen by the birders and Senna glutinosa, Maireana carnosa (Cottony Bluebush) and Rhodanthe chlorocephala ssp. splendida, were recorded by the botanists. We took lunch by a railway siding just west of Mullewa. As we neared this spot, Doug spotted a Bobtail Skink crossing the road. Paul caught this lizard and everyone had an opportunity to see its wonderful blue, black tongue and to photograph it, before he released it, unharmed and unstressed, away from the road. The lunch spot had a few goodies too. These included Anthotroche blackii, Brunonia australis (Native Cornflower) and Grevillea obliquistigma. Our main aim today was to visit the site of Lechenaultia macrantha (Wreath Lechenaultia), at Pindar. Fortunately, there were a number of these rare and special plants flowering, together with Dampiera wellsiana (Wells’ Dampiera), Verticordia grandis (Scarlet Featherflower) and Balaustion microphyllum (Bush Pomegranite). A little further down the road we stopped to find Darwinia purpurea (Rose Darwinea), before continuing on to the Coalseam Conservation Reserve. Here the ground is covered with a colourful blanket of spring annuals and everlastings. Podotheca gnaphaloides (Billy Buttons), Lawrencella davenpoertii (Sticky Everlasting), Rhodanthe citrine as well as Eucalyptus loxophleba ssp. loxophleba (York Gum), and Acacia acuminata (Jam Wattle) were all present. Notable birds included Peregrine Falcon. It was now time to make our way to Dongara to the Old Mill Motel, our accommodation for the night.

Day 8 Friday 9th September

Weather: Fine and sunny with a slight breeze.

Seting off from Dongara, today was to be mostly a travelling day. However, we made a number of stops along the way noting the changing vegetation as we moved south. We left the town and joined the southbound Brand

Highway. One sharp eyed member of the group spotted a pacific or White-necked Heron hunting in a roadside ditch. Our first stop was on the side of the highway to see Banksia Hookeriana (Hooker’s Banksia) together with Jacksonia acicularis and Verticordia grandis (Scarlet Featherflower). Our second such stop yielded Isotropis cuneifolia (Common Lamb Poison or Granny’s Bonnets) and Stackhousia brunonis (Winged Stackhousia). Morning tea was taken in the town of Eneabba, where we were joined by Magpie Lark, Magpie and Wattle Birds. Diurus corymbosa aff. (Rosy-cheeked Donkey Orchid) and Tersonia cyathiflora (Button Creeper) were also found. As we were leaving the town, Doug showed us White-backed Swallows sitting on an overhead Line. We soon made a roadside stop to see the Grasstrees Xanthorea priessii and Xanthorea drummondii both flowering after last years burn. Before long we turned east and left the Brand Highway behind us, and made our way to Coorow. Along the way we stopped in the Alexander Morrison National Park. Heare we found Hakea gilbertii, Boronia ternata, Petrophile scabriusculus and Commersonia pulchella, and along the roadway a Wedge-tailed eagle was circling. We were now entering an area where the majestic Eucalyptus salmonophloia (Salmon Gum) are to be found. Lunch was taken in the bush near Marchagee. A Bobtail Skink was disturbed as we arrived, but did not move too far away as we ate. Melaleuca uncinata (Broom bush), Allocasuina obesa (Sheoak), Hakea brownii and Hakea platyphylla (Cricket Ball Hakea) were all present. One short stop near New Norcia produced Trymalium ledifolium and Pterostylis vittana (Banded Greenhood Orchid), as well as a Scarlet Robin. Another had Hibbertia miniata and Hakea undulata. We were now fairly close to our destination, the El Caballo Resort Hotel at Wooloroo, where we spent the night.

Day 9 Saturday 10th September

Weather: Fresh and bright at first, becoming warmer.

The prospect of the Dryandra Woodlands had us on the road promptly this morning, being seen on our way by a pair of Laughing Kookaburra as we left our hotel near Wooroloo. Our route took us south and east though York, stopping at Avon Assent for morning tea and some bird watching. The lookout point produced Striated Pardalote, Rufus Whistler and Horsefield’s Bronze Cuckoo. We travelled on through Pingelly and on to Popanyinning, where we took a comfort stop. From here the shortest route into the Dryandra Woodlands was along a series of gravel roads, and it wasn’t very long before we found ourselves botanising in this unique habitat. Our first stop produced Lechenaultia formosa (Red Lechenaultia), Caledenia saccharata (Sugar Orchid), Cyanicula deformis (Blue Fairy Orchid), Diurus recurva (Dainty Donkey Orchid) and Borya scirpoides were all found. Grey Currawong were glimpsed by several group members. We took our lunch at the Old Mill Dam, passing stands of Eucalyptus astringens (Brown Mallet), the tree for which this area is famous. The bark was used for the Tanin it contained, until artificial alternatives were introduced in the 1960s.A short walk after lunch produced good views of Rufous Treecreeper together with Stackhousia monogyna, Mirbilia floribunda (Purple Mirbilia) and Cyanicula gemmata (Blue China Orchid). As were reached the vehicle Doug spotted a Numbat being chased by a Magpie. Several members of the group were able to glimpse this shy and rare marsupial. A short visit to the Congelin Dam produced a small group of Pterostylis aff. nana (Hairy-stemmed Snail Orchid), before we made our way to an area of Dryandra bush, as we traveled we stopped to photograph the magnificent Dryandra nobilis (Golden Dryandra) and Dryandra polycephala (Pingle). The area we stopped in had several plants we had yet to become acquainted with. These included Isopogon crithmifolius, Isopogon formusus (Rose Coneflower), Hakea ruscifolia (Candle Hakea), Santalum murrayanum (Bitter Quandong) and Dryandra subpinnatifida var. subpinnatifida. Leaving the National Park, we made our way to Narragin and the Albert Facey Motor Inn, our accommodation for the night. We arrived in time for a pre-arranged meal at 17-00hrs. This was in order that we could return to the National Park to undertake the night Marsupil spotting tour at Bana Mia. It was already dark when we re-entred the Park,

and we soon had glimpses of Kangaroos and a single Bilby. We were also fortunate enough to see a Tawny Frogmouth glide effortlessly across the road. The tour began with a short talk by our guide, Lin Chadwick. After this we followed her outside to visit four feeding stations, where we put out some pellets and fresh food, which represents only 10% of the required intake of these charming little animals. Under red touch-light, we saw four different small marsupials. These were Bilby, Burrowing Bettong, Boodie and Quenda. This evening was a very pleasant experience, and we returned to our hotel charmed by these fascinating creatures.

Day 10 Sunday 11th September

Weather: Chilly and bright, warming up later.

A few early morning risers found Pterostylis sanguinea (Dark-banded Greenhood) and Gastrolobium spinosum in the woodland opposite our hotel. Driving east from Narrogin we made an early stop at some roadside scrubby woodland near Highbury. Here we saw Regent Parrot as well as Caladenia falcata (Forest Mantis Orchid), Prasophyllum gracile (Little laughing Leek Orchid), Petrophile squamata and Hakea lissocarpa. Our morning tea stop was taken at a bush location north of Katanning. A good sized flock of the increasing scarce Regent parrot were seen together with Grey fantails. Botanic highlights included Brachysema celsianum (Swan River Pea) and lots more Caladenia falcata (Forest Mantis Orchid). After a comfort stop in Gnowangerup, we continued on towards Borden, stopping to explore a particularly interesting area of bush. Verticordia hughanii, Pterostylis recurva (Jug Orchid), Comesprma volubile (Love Creeper) and Pterostylis vittana (Banded Greenhood Orchid were all present). Doug found us a roadside layby for lunch, by an area of bush, so a little exploring was soon under way, salad roll in hand! Calactasia grandiflora (Tinsel Lily), Caladenia discoidea (Bee Orchid), Verticordia chrysantha (A Yellow Featherflower), Calytrix tetragonia (A White Starflower) and Grevillea fistulosa were all present. However, a shout of excitement from Doug revealed the spectacular Thelymitra aff. variegata (Queen of Sheba Orchid) a plant he had been searching for fourteen years. We continued our journey, thrilled with the days plant and bird list additions. Arriving in Bremer Bay, we saw two Yellow-billed Spoonbills feed in a lake, before making our way down to the mouth of the Bremer River where we had a short walk through some dunes and coastal scrub. Templetonia retusa (Cockies Tongues), Melaleuca cuticularis (Salt Water Paperbark) and Hakea cygna ssp. cygna were seen. The Birders reported Caspian Tern and Silver Gull. Our last port of call was to the lookout point overlooking the bay. Here Alan showed us Anthocersis viiscosa (Sticky Tailflower) and Spiridium globulosum. We checked in to the Bremer Bay Resort around 17-00hrs, in time to shower before dinner.

Day 11 Monday 12th September

Weather: Rain at first, bright and sunny for most of the day with more rain later.

Our only destination today was the Fitzgerald River Nation Park. As we made our way into the National Park, we saw Eucalyptus tetraptra (Four-wiged Mallee) and Eucalyptus tetragona (Tallerack). Firstly we made a call into the CALM (Conservation and Land Management) Office to check various species locations with the Ranger, who was, unfortunately, out. So, we made our way on into the Park. Our first stop was to see the endemic Pimelia physodes (Qualup Bell), Dryandra trilobus (Barrel Coneflower), Lambertia inermis (Chittick), Adenanthos cuneatus (Coastal Jug Flower and another splendid local endemic, Hakea victoriae (Royal Hakea), the sun highlighting the veining in the orange, green bracts wonderfully. Moving on a short way we stopped for the splendid Banksia coccinea (Scarlet Banksia), and also found some of last years Banksia baxteri (Baxters Banksia) and Banksia baueri

(Wooly or Possum Banksia). Our spot for morning tea, just off the main dirt road, gave us some fantastic views of Wedge-tailed Eagle soaring very close by and a good specimen of Hakea nitida (Frog Hakea). Our next scheduled stop was to be Point Anne. As we approached we paused to check the bay for Whales. It was quickly apparent that there were some there, so we got straight back into the bus and drove to the view-point. There were at least two female Southern Right Whales with calves in the bay and a couple of single, possibly, young adults a little further out to sea. We spent a good half an hour in their company before returning to the bus via Banksia media (Southern Plains Banksia), Calathamnus pinifolius (Dense clawflower), Calothamnus validus (Barrens Clawflower), Melaleuca subrosa (Cork Bark Honeymyrtle) and many more flowers were also recorded. We decided to take lunch by an adjacent inlet. As we arrived we were met by a ‘Racehourse’ Goanna (Gould’s Monitor Lizard). This scavenger and egg thief of the bush was about 600mm long. After lunch we made our way to the Qualup Homestead. This is a small sheep farm dating back to the 1850s that is maintained as a small museum, but also has a wild flower walk through natural bush, where native, unplanted species are named. Here we found Gomphalobium scabrum (Painted Lady), Conospermum distichum (Smokebush), Synaphea petiolaris, Xanthorrhoea platyphylla (Grass Tree) and Calectasia grandiflora (Tinsel Lily). On the return journey to Bremer Bay, we saw Alyogyne hueglii (Lilac Hibiscus) growing by the roadside in a gully, ending a wonderful day.

Day 12 Tuesday 13th September

Weather: Wet at first, becoming brighter during the late morning. Rain later.

Before leaving Bremer Bay this morning, we visited two small areas of bush near the hotel, one where Bettye had found Caladenia cainesiana (Zebra Orchid), and the second to see planted specimens Regelia velutina (Barrens Regelia), Eucalyptus tetrapterum (Four-winged Malle) and Caladenia decora (Esperance King Spider Orchid). Driving west we were aiming for the Two Peoples Bay Reserve to the east of Albany. Along the way we saw White- fronted Heron and Grey Butcherbird before we stopped at Wellstead for morning tea, seeing a splendid specimen of Banksia speciosa (Showy Banksia). A second stop in a patch of low-laying, wet woodland added Caladenia longifimbriata (Green-comb Spider Orchid), Tetratheca hirsuta (Black-eyed Susan), Goodenia affinis and Velliea trinervis. Turning off the main south coast highway we drove down to Two Peoples Bay. This small reserve is the main site for the very rare Noisy Scrub Bird. Unfortunately, the Visitors Centre was closed, so we walked down to the beach through Agonis flexuosa (Peppermint Tree), Lepidosperma effusum (Spreading Sword- sedge) and Anarthria scabra (A Rush) and took lunch in a small clearing. After eating, we spent a short time exploring the coastal part of the reserve, during which time we saw Australian Pelicans together with Calystachys lanceolata (Native Willow), Pterostylis aff. nana (Short-eared Snail Orchid) and Banksia littoralis (Swamp Banksia). Travelling back along the access road towards Albany, we stopped to see Pimelia rosea (Rose Banjine). Beaufortia decussaata (Gravel Bottlebrush) and Xanthosia rotundifolia (Southern Cross). We were soon arriving aat the Ace Motor Inn in Albany, where we would be spending the next two nights. After booking in, there was just enough time to visit the City before dinner.

Tour Report Wild Flowers of Western Australia

Day 13 Wednesday 14th September

Weather: Cloudy at first, becoming bright, warm and sunny.

Our time today was to be spent in the Stirling Range, some eighty kilometers north of Albany. Leaving the City we drove north for some sixty kilometers before making a stop to explore some roadside scrub, on the southern edge of the National Park. Paracaleana nigrita (Flying Duck Orchid), Isopogon longifolia (Long-leaved Coneflower) and Kennedia coccinia (Coral Vine) were all found. A layby just south of the turning to Bluff Knoll, was our spot for morning tea, Caladenia reptans ssp. reptans (Little Pink Fairy Orchid), Conostylis setigera (Bristly Cottonheads) and Prasophyllum macrostachyum (Laughing Leek Orchid). A single Budgerigar was also glimpsed. From here we moved up to the car park at the base of Bluff Knoll, the highest peak in the Stirling Range at 1073m. Here we took a walk up the summit track to explore the mountains flora, adding Sphenotoma dracophylloides (Paper Flower), Kingia australis (Black Gin) and Andersonia simplex to our ever growing plant list. Alan suggested that we take a drive along the Stirling Range Drive, stopping at the Talyuberup picnic stop for lunch. Here we saw Gastrolobium biloba, growing on a stream bank and being serenaded by a Quacking Frog. After lunch we made a number of stops in the bush. One of which gave us the opportunity to walk up one of the smaller hillsides. Species recorded included Nemcia leakiana (Stirling Range Poison), Isopogon Baxteri (Baxter’s Coneflower), Hakea cuculata (Pink Scollops), Calytrix leschenaultia and Beaufortia schaueri (Pink Bottlebrush), Beaufortia heterophylla (Stirling Range Bottlebrush). Our final stop in this area was made at the White Gum Flats picnic area. This was a wet woodland habitat and it produced Caladenia menziesii (Rabbit Orchid) and Cyrtostylis robusta (Mosquito Orchid). There waere also 2 Whistling Kites and Square-tailed Kite. The return journey, to Albany, was made via Mount Barker, and south down the Albany Highway. The last stop of the day was at the William Gibb reserve on the outskirts of Albany. This is a site for the unique Cephatotus follicularis (Albany Pitcher Plant). Unfortunately, owing to the time of the year, we only found the first signs of its appearance. There was also Kunzia baxteri (Baxter’s Kunzea) and Banksia quecifolius (Oak-leaved Banksia). On our way back to the Motel, Doug took us via the ‘tourist route’ to see the sights of the town and harbour.

Day 14 Thursday 15th September

Weather: Showers at first, becoming bright, sunny and warm

Leaving our hotel, we made the comparatively short journey to the Torndirrup National Park, on the coast near Albany, where we looked at some locally famous geological features, including The Natural Bridge. Black- browed Albatross, Australian Gannet and Caspian Tern we seen out to sea. Before leaving the Park, we stopped to visit some open scrub heath where we found Banksia ilicifolia (Holly-leaved Banksia) and the young seedlings of Banksia Grandis (Bull Banksia). We then retraced our steps and turned west in the direction of Denmark, where we had morning tea by the river in Berrbridge Park, and Walpole. The ‘Valley of the Giants’ was our main objective today. Here, an ariel-walkway gives a unique view of the canopy of a good example of ‘Karri’ woodland. Eucalyptus jacksonii (Red Tingle), Eucalyptus guilfoylei (Yellow Tingle) and Eucalyptus divaricata (Karri) truly dominate this habitat, due to their enormous height. Below, Trymalium floribunda (Karri Hazel), Aloecasaurina decussata (Karri Sheoak), Leucopogon verticillatus (Tasselflower) and Acacia pentandra (Karri Wattle) are all well represented. White-brested Robin, New Holland Honey-eater and Port Lincoln Ring-necked Parrots were all active. Moving a little further down the road to a picnic site, for lunch, meant we were able to see Red-winged fairy-wren at close quarters. After lunch, we moved on, this time in the direction of Manjimup. Along the way,

wet roadside ditches were home to Anigozanthos flavidus (Evergreen Kangeroo Paw). We made a short stop in an area of ‘Jarrah’ woodland, a habitat we had, so far, not seen. Here we found Acacia horridus, Hakea lasianthoides, Boronia gracilipes and Xanthorrhoea gracilis (Graceful Blackboy). Our final destination for the day was Pemberton and the famous ‘Gloucester Tree’, an old fire-watch hut erected in the top of a Karri Eucalyptus Tree. Whilst none of our number elected to make the climb, we did take time to explore the woodland. Western Rosella, ‘twenty-eight’ Ring-necked Parrots, White Brested Robin and Western Grey Shrike-thrush we all recorded and well as Acacia urophylla (Net-leaved Wattle). From here it was but a short drive into Manjimup, our base for the night, the Kingsley Motel.

Day 15 Friday 16th September

Weather: Fine warm and sunny with a breeze.

Our route back to Perth took us northwest from Manjimup along the road to Nannup, through Marri/Jarrah woodland. Morning tea was taken in Nannup, close to the Information centre. We were all surprised by a clearly definable flood level mark on the wall, given the apparent considerable height the building was above the normal water level. Scarlet Robin was spotted busy collecting food. From Nannup, we decided to take a scenic route to Balingup. This took us through farming country, along the route of the Blackwood River. Unfortunately, there was no native woodland or bush worth exploring. Turning west at Balingup, we had a comfort stop at Donnybrook, before making our way to Bunbury. After a short visit to the Boulters Heights viewpoint, overlooking the Indian Ocean, we made our way to an area of relic mangrove swamp, the farthest south in Australia, where we took lunch in a picnic area. Several alien species from South Africa were prescent here including Romulea rosea ssp. australis (Gulidford Grass), Sparaxis pillansii (Harlequin Flower), Cotula turbinata (Fennel Weed) and Trachyandra divaricata (Dune Onion Weed). After eating, we walked out along a broad-walk through the Avicennia marina (Mangrove), seeing Darter, Little Black Cormorant, Osprey and Brown Honeyeater. Continuing our journey north up the coast towards Perth, we passed though considerable stands of Eucalyptus gomphocephalus (Tuart). We made a stop in the Yalgorup National Park, finding Caladenia latifolia (Pink Fairy Orchid), Banksia attenuata (Slender Banksia) and Banksia grandis (Bull Banksia). Just south of Mandurah, at a place called Dawesville, we left the main road and drove along the side of the Peel Inlet, before rejoining the connecting road to the Kwinana Freeway, which we took into Perth, passing Black Swans, appropriately, on the Swan River. After checking into Miss Maud’s Swedish Hotel, it was time to say our fairwells to Doug Taggart, our knowledgeable and careful driver, and Alan Notley, our local botanical expert, who had both looked after us so well. Our final dinner together was taken in Miss Maud’s restaurant, where we said our goodbyes to Priscilla and Owen, who were travelling to Darwin, Karen who was going back south to Denmark and Peter and Juliet, who were staying in Perth for a further few days.
