Today we went to the Kuring-gai Wild Flower Park on Monavale Road at St Ives.
There weren't many wild flowers but it was a relaxing and
interesting walk nevertheless.

There are some beautiful parks and places to relax as well as BBQ areas for
families to picnic.
Even though it is on a major road, it feels quite secluded and private.
You can't hear traffic noises at all.
There weren't a lot of wild flowers out but this Bottlebrush was quite stunning!
It was also interesting seeing all the different fungi as well. Don helped me take
photos and showed me how to use the features on my camera
It made it a bit easier to get reasonable shots.
I thought this dried out Bansia flower was very interesting
and this little flower bush gave colour to the surrounding bushland.
There were quite a few fern trees in the park and we could see new growth coming.
Huge Fern Trees looked surreal with their furry stems as the sun shone through.
Stag Ferns are native to Australia and ther were plenty of them in the park.
Smaller creeper and Ferns clung to older trees and wound their way up the trunk.
This white flower with the purple centre looked lonely but accentuated the bush
behind it.
This is a Grevillea, a native of Australia
Every now and again we would see some colour spotted throughout the bush.
We had finished our walk through and followed the path back to the car.
This might certainly be a place to come in the spring with the hope of more wild flowers.
