Last year I had been along the Great North Walk track enjoying the walk and looking for fungi along the way. Also, I had admired some fungi photos taken by Ken Beath in the Lane Cove area. I had been in touch with Ken, and he suggested a good place to look for fungi – between the Porters Creek Bridge and the De Burgh Bridge – along the Riverside Walk.
So I set out for the Lane Cove National Park. It was about a 15 minute walk from Macquarie Park Station to the entrance gate and then from there a short walk to the Riverside path.
I found a fair bit of fungi and a few slime moulds were out. Though not as good as what I had seen in the Blue Mountains recently or at Bola Creek in Royal National Park. But this is an easy place to get to, and I will return in the future, perhaps on a longer walk.
More photos are online on my website here.
Hi David, I am hoping to learn more about the Sydney national parks as I am a Biology teacher and would like to expand my knowledge on plants and animals in the region. Do you have any suggestions for me. Great blog bye the way.
kind regards,
Hannah Hindmarsh
Originally I learnt a lot about Nature from fellow bushwalkers in the bushwalking club I was in. Some were studying botany or geology etc.
