Mount Bald Reservoir, South Australia.

Several more spots around Mount Bald and a couple more early Orchids.

Australia, Day Sixty Two.

Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus) watching me taking photo's of Orchids, wondering what this idiot is doing lying on the ground across his path.

After yesterdays complete wash out due to the wind and heavy rain we headed for another part of the Mount Bald Conservation Park where we did several short walks checking out different types of woodland and scrub.

Leafless Bitter Pea (Daviesia brevifolia) thanks Deb. 

Whilst I was lying across a Roo trail a couple actually wanted to use it, they stopped just before they reached me and waited until I had finished before moving on.
