On the way to Gosford last weekend, we called at Mt. Annan Botanic
Gardens. They are really worth a visit. There has been much more
rain in that part of the world and things are green, with some native
plants, red kangaroo paws, geraldton wax and others, already
flowering. The 'Evolution of Australian Plants' garden is very
interesting
We were disappointed to see around the cafe and restaurant many noisy
miners, hoping to pick up crumbs dropped by visitors. Away from the
cafe, around the lakes we saw
Yellow robins
Yellow-faced honeyeater
Red wattle birds
Striated pardalotes
A bulbul
Superb fairy wrens
Grey fantails
Red-browed firetails
A crested shrike-tit
Striated thornbills
White faced heron
Numerous ducks
Egrets
Probably a few others as well
Oh, yes, a plant, an imprisoned wollemi pine, about 2 mtrs tall, skinny
