Cattai National Park (Mitchell Park) NSW 15th June 2012


35 minutes drive away is Mitchell Park, which is part of Cattai National Park.  A good spot for both birds and plants due to the various habitat types, rain forest, river,swamp and drier sandstone ridges. Today there weren't a lot flowers but the fungi and some fruiting plants, if only small, gave some colour along the somewhat damp tracks. Although I like to photograph fungi I have very little knowledge of which species they are.
