User's notes

Small, upward-pointing Chiloglottis orchids. Many leaf pairs visible in the leaf litter but few with buds or flowers except in this small area, mostly hiding within Lomandra or grass tufts, or emerging from under logs. Evidence of widespread foraging for orchid tubers by animals, probably white-winged choughs.
