Hey all
this is weird
I was on the survey and the locality is certainly not Symonston.
I noticed a number of registrations of Spider orchids for Symonston which i sure occur on Mt Majura. I wonder about other registrations of orchids such and other plants too!
Aaron if you go to the Symonston site you will find a lot of your registrations. I wonder whether something happened that shifted Mt Majura to Symonston?
