Blue Mountains National Park - Kings Tableland 19th April 2013

My first visit to this very interesting part of the Blue Mountains, and a new plant (Persoonia acerosa) for me as a bonus. All today's plants were found by just driving slowly along the road with very little walking involved.  179kms round trip.
