Too much to share with you all.
Here are just some of the local treasures.

| Epacris calvertiana var calvertiana An endemic plant, named after a famous early local botanist Louisa Atkinson, who married James Calvert. Hence this plant's name. There is a pink and white form known as Epacris calvertiana var versicolor which was named from a specimen found at Belmore Falls. |

| Grevillea patulifolia |
This next plant is a tiny-flowered heath
with delicious pink flowers
which, when open are clearly "hairy"
on the inner part of the tube
reflecting the generic name Beard Heath.

| Leucopogon fraseri |
This next plant has a delicious sweet perfume.
It is a small shrub, a Logania.
