My boys have just headed back to school after our 'spring break'. We have four school terms here, broken up with a two week break between terms 1, 2 & 3 and then six weeks summer vacation after term four.We took a mini trip during the break, funnily enough to visit Kandy Sheperd who blogged yesterday! It was so great to visit her and her lovely husband and to meet the cats and horses she often blogs about.
On the last day of our trip, we visited The Royal National Park in Sydney. Back in the 1870s, when this park was declared, I am sure it was in the middle of nowhere, but now it is surrounded by the southern suburbs of Sydney and on a public holiday, everyone was there taking advantage of having rugged coastal beaches and glorious bush right on their doorstep.
And the flowers were out. I wanted to share some of them with you....
This is pink heath. Although I took this photo in New South Wales, it is the state flower of my state, Victoria.
Sorry, I have no clue what this is but it's pretty, right ? ;-)
I have exhausted my knowledge here but wanted to share them all with you.
So tell me, what is your favourite local flower? Or what is your state flower? I would love to know!
