Manea Park Walk
Still in the Bunbury area, we took a second eco-walk, this time the Manea Park Walk
Located in College Grove, the Manea Park Walk takes in a
range of habitat types.
Manea Park is Bunbury’s premier bush reserve and
supports several threatened species including the forest
red-tailed black cockatoo and both the species
of white-tailed black cockatoo found within the South West.
During Spring, it is an excellent location to view a magnificent variety of Western Australian wildflowers.
We didn’t see any Cockatoos, but we did see a few wildflowers and orchids.
There seems to be a lot of sun orchids out these days.
Little Bottle Brush
Pink Fountain Triggerplant
White Spider orchid
Hibbertia stellaris, commonly known as star guinea flower or orange stars, is a brilliantly orange flowering ground cover from South Western Australia botanical province. It naturally grows in swamps. This was a new one for us.
Everywhere we go, there are always cowslip orchids.
Common Mignonette Orchid
A rather dangerous looking Dasypogon
Another White Spider Orchid.
Fun to see a tree grow from inside another tree.
Always HAPPY to see a Pink Fairy Orchid.
There were leaves for orchids piled on top of one another. If there is ever a burn in this area, there should be plenty of beak orchids.
