Mt Matilda, Christmas Rock and Mt O'Brie

We had a very successful orchid hunt today. All three venues had so many variety of orchids. There was ant orchid, spider orchid, cowslip orchids, jug orchids and lots and lots of donkey orchids. Not to mention countless other wildflowers. At Mt Matilda, and Christmas Rock, there were descriptive signs at regular intervals, detailing the flora and fauna of the region, which were very informative.
The views were magnificent from Mt Matilda and Mt O'Brien. There were 5 lookouts along the Mt Matilda hike with vistas of canola fields and the edges of the mesa were spectacular.
Mt O'Brien has a 360⁰ views of the lakes, canola fields and Wongan Hills township. We also watched the sunset and the stars from Mt O'Brien, once night set in.
We returned to the campsite to find that we were the only ones camped tonight.
An amazing day.Read more
