    @ Lake Cliffton.
    We had a fantastic afternoon exploring here.
    We found our first Giant of Mandurah. We have been looking forward to visiting them. Was a 3.5k return walk. A nice easy track to walk. Plus we had a couple of excellent wild flower finds...
    Our first Orchid... Pink Fairy
    Plus a Flame Pea. Another new find.
