| A heavy fog filtered the air. In my tent I lay dorment, with grandson Jack by side. We awoke to the gentle 'coo' of the singing honey eater. After a solid breakfast and hike through the thick bush we came through to a vert rockface. Feeling the feeling of defeat, we sat in the cool breeze that engulfed us. Then jack made a remarkable spotting. A Tumut Grevillea, lone. The joy we experienced in our 15 minute observation was a once off experience. The said Honey eater was near by, 'cooing'. A sense, perhaps for young and old alike, of accomplishment. Lets go home gents.
I wish not to discuss the whereabouts, as Harold may feel it appropriate to lop it down for personal enjoyment. |

| Tooshay Bernie...tooshay. I have missed hearing about your adventures as of late. you have alway been the eloquent one havnt you. Tumut Grevillea (Grevillea wilkinsonii)what a rare treat! Are you sure it was the Tumut? Was this in the Tumut Shire? The Tumut was originally collected from a travelling stock reserve along the Goobarrangandra River east of Tumut in 1982, and now declared endangered a Threatened Species. This is for a number of reasons including flooding, exotic plant competition, herbicide spraying, grazing by animals, clearing, roadworks and probably old men and their grand kids farting around with it! Leave well alone B...Leave well alone. - Harold |
