Gordon Creek Killara look see ride : September 9 2024

Been trying the last few days to do a train-bike trip to Mt Colah to walk a spring orchids track. Aimed for a train around 1 o'clock. Got to the station - trains are in a mess after a rail problem at Central. Plan B - do the shopping and go home and plan another ride

Rode down into Killara to explore access points to Gordon Creek. Did the map stuff and followed the GPS. A flash of colour on fire trail access

Mini flannel flower

Puffer mushroom. Well the trail was not a fire trail at all. Just a path below the houses and skirting high above the creek. Ran into an overgrown section. Turned back and then walked to edge of the drop off

Lovely quiet spot - bush is a mix of eucalyptus and sheoak. Not good for orchids

Creek is another 100 metres drop. Could probably scramble down but not today. Will plan to access the creek from the other side another day.

Was hoping to find orchids up the slope to the rocks. No luck - sheoak territory

Clustered pea flower

More yellow - hibbertia

Fungal form on a tree near where the bike park was - opening out

This is the stage before it opens out

Context photo. Been a while between visits since the move

Not a bad route to ride - easy going down but a few steep hills coming back. Pushed parts of those

Dinner: Pizza with fresh prawns from the day before. Fresh was way better than frozen.

Trade action: Market opted a bit to give a window to adjust XLK hedging trades.
