Fantastic looking orchid and great shot. This species was featured on a segment of 7:30 ABC TV yesterday where someone was complaining about burning off the area at inappropriate times.

Ahh I missed it, I'll have a look if I can get it on iView and download the segment. Was it Karen Groeneveld? She has been doing a lot of great work fighting for the protection of this colony and I had heard that there was an ABC interview being planned which is just excellent.
