  The burned out areas are turning green very quickly and it is a great opportunity for photography. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance as we traveled to south Australia.Also 2 lots of 2 weeks having to do self isolation and the general ban on non essential travelling made it hard . Also now in the southern part of Australia we are almost in winter and not much is happening because of the cold. However in about 6 weeks the first terrestrial orchids should start to flower,I noticed many first sets of leaves already.
