 Foxes Lair April-May Highlights

Generally warm still days make this time great for walking or riding your bike around Foxes Lair or having a picnic.
Check out the view on the breakaway loop, walk through the rocks on the granite trail, or see if you can find bunny orchids on the western part of the Banksia traill or at the claypit.
Rainfall is very unpredictable at this time, so the bush may be dry or fresh and green. Late April-May is the flowering time for the manna wattle tree (Acacia microbotrya check out the gum) bunny orchid and hare orchid (rare here – better on Highbury trail or at Yilliminning rock), if there has been enough rain for them to flower.
Early morning and evening are great times to walk, enjoy the bush, hear the birds, and see our kangaroos.
