We walked about 200 metres along a track in the forest north of Anglesea on Victoria's south coast but it took a while because we found a few orchids flowering, about ten species in all. Am I repeating myself when I say this area is a marvellous floristic treasure?

| Eastern Bronze Caladenia Caladenia transitoria |
 |
| Large Duck Orchid Caleana major |
 |
| Plain Fingers Caladenia sp. aff. vulgaris |
 |
| Spotted Sun Orchid Thelymitra ixioides |
 |
| Slender Sun Orchid Thelymitra pauciflora |
 |
| Salmon Sun Orchid Thelymitra rubra |
We also saw two species of bearded greenhoods, Pink Fingers and the small duck orchid
Caleana minor as well as leaves of several other species. A friend was along the same track a month ago and saw an entirely different suite of orchids and other plants flowering.
