Orchid Habitat before Leisure Centre
The bitumen road in the photo has been considered temporary since the
centre was constructed and is to be removed when the major development
takes place as another road is to be constructed. Prior to this road
being built numerous terrestrial species were growing where the road is
now. They were P. affine
(unknown number), C.
hunteriana (unknown
number) and Diuris aurea
(beautiful flower), Diuris
sulphurea,
Cryptostylis erecta,
Cryptostylis subulata,
Glossodia major,
Speculantha parviflora
and several other species.
