The Camden Haven area on the mid north coast, is one of our favourite spots in the state, and it was here that we spent a couple of days to relax and unwind after a couple of stressful weeks due to the illness and passing away of Lynn's mother.
We spent Friday doing a walk around the 'Flower Bowl' track in the Kattang Nature Reserve and driving to a couple of spots in the adjoining Crowdy Bay National Park.
I'm sorry that I can't name some of these plants as they are new to me, I've stepped a little out of my comfort zone.

ReplyDeleteSo are a few others you have photographed. I liked the Banksia with sea in the background. Is that pink pig face a native?
Rosemary
The yellow pea (Golden Glory Peas) belongs to the genera Gompholobium, but I haven't worked out the species yet. Yes the Pigface is native and can be found all along the coast.
