Munmorah visit for wild flowers - Part One

 Pathway alongside carpark leads to bush-walk in one direction, and sand-dunes to the ocean, on the other.

It had been apparent on the drive closer to Lake Munmorah National Park that some early Spring bush-fire hazard prevention was happening in the region  i.e. 'back-burning'.  A light haze of smoke drifted in the air, and made the horizon blurred.

Purpose of this afternoon's outing was to see what might be flowering in the natural bushland.  There were some sweet little surprises to be found.
