Genus CaladeniaObserver
youngnaturalist_auDescription
This specimen appears to match the description and photograph of Caladenia curtisepala contained in Tony Bishop's "Field Guide to the Orchids of NSW and Victoria", 2nd Edn, 2000. Observed in Royal National Park on shallow, sandstone & ridgetop soil. The dorsal sepal is markedly shorter than the lateral sepals. The description in the field guide bears a note that "this appears to be a poorly differentiated species".

youngnaturalist_auDescription
This plant seemed to be an unusual resident in the Heathland, but it is a member of the Mint Family, Lamiaceae, and it occurs in poor sandy soils in woodland, sclerophyll forest and heath north of Jervis Bay. The knobbly, hairy & papery leaves are interesting. The tubular flowers match with the other flowering heaths observed in this location and flowering at the same time (Epacris longiflora, Styphelia viridis, Correa reflexa & Astroloma pinifolium) providing a food source for honeyeaters.

Water Gum (Tristaniopsis laurina)Observer
youngnaturalist_auDescription
This bright yellow flowering water gum was a welcoming sight in the north-western corner of Tallowa Dam as we kayaked to the farthest end to see the water flowing into the dam. Along the 5km journey we heard bell-birds, whip- birds, double drummer cicadas, saw an eastern water dragon and rescued over a dozen golden brown beetles (Honeybrown beetle, Ecnolagria grandis) from the water. A beautiful Golden Whistler bird was observed in the foliage of the Water Gum.
