wondering what Lynn is looking at?

Slide across to the next pic to see the Waratah Anemones we saw on today’s Bradleys Head Bushland and Beaches Tour.

These little guys are usually found during low tide just above the waterline.

Quite often, a number of small anemones will be near to an adult. This is because the young are released, fully developed, through the adult anemone’s mouth.

So join us and see these little guys and other marine animals and plants on our Bradleys Head Bushland and Beaches Tour.

The Sweet Sarsaparilla (Smilax glyciphylla) is a native climbing vine with edible leaves and fruits.

Sweet Sarsaparilla is said to be a bush medicine. Relieving aches and pains, sore throats and coughs when the fruits are eaten or the leaves brewed to make medicinal tea.

These little beauties are endemic to Sydney Harbour National Park but if you are not looking for them, you just might miss them.

What a wonderful way to finish our Middle Head Battery and Barracks Tour to have Ken Done present his works on the Japanese midget submarine raid on Sydney Harbour.

One of our highlights during our walking tour of Middle Head is to share the story of when the war came to Sydney Harbour.
