Is this location in the Military Training Area correct? - if so this is very excitingly a new recorded location.

Hi Michael. No it was at Mt Majura. This is my first time posting. Parks didn't want me to disclose the exact location. I meant to map it on Majura but the map feature is clunky and clearly I didn't map it correctly l.

No worries - the location of sensitive orchids is only provided to the reporter and people like Park Managers- so there is no issues with providing the exact location - in fact it helps in the conservation of the species. You can move the location by clicking on the edit button and click on the location using the google maps function. I have moved teh location back to Mt Majura. Thanks for taking the trouble to record the sighting as any sighting of this orchid is good to have.
