Just one little orchid in flower, but this is a known spot along the Square Rock walking track so hopefully others will pop up.

Should be Eriochilus magenteus out that way. E. cucullatus isn't very common out that way and tends to be whiter, although there is a lot of overlap in colour between the two species.
