Sunday (Conglomerate Gully) and Monday (Pioneer Park)
After school I walked under and onto the Bridge past Taylors Creek. Over the bridge I crossed the train tracks and walked under that same bridge AGAIN down a suburban road, and new holland honeyeaters, red wattlebirds, magpie-larks, lorikeets and crows were around. I walked parallel, as I listened on Spotify/Shazam, to the train tracks, and Hopper Meadow was on the other side (I still need to get to the huge stand of gum trees there). I even discovered this really old bridge, half hidden by the train, from the 1800s!
After a while of walking I arrived at Pioneer Park. It was nice I loved reading the signs and their were nice swathes of golden Kangaroo Grass. I didn't see many other interesting Victorian Volcanic plains plants (maybe I'll see them in spring when they're in flower; there's supposed to be daisies and the critically endangered spiny rice flower there). However, I did see some lomandra and flax-lillies. It is a bit sad to see the grasslands in bits and pieces like this, but they're still very pretty and diverse. Overall, was very cool, I've been wanting to go there for a while. Branchory Grove Grassland Reserve is a bit further up, I can go there in the spring holidays maybe?? :)
Interesting how when we went to Conglomerate Gully Nature Trail in Sunday (yesterday) planty of things were in bloom. Lets talk about thattt now. Seeing purple coral peas in the wild is cool, they are just as nice as the on ein the garden. I saw 2 kinds of sundews, interesting mosses and fungi. The landscape itself was Dry Sclerophyll forest I think. It was composed of rocky gullies, rock formations like faces and adorably round tussocks or grass. There were old trees with ruby sap crystalized and mistletoes. No orchids though, but spring is arriving. Yeahiahhuahaja
