Cullaloe Hills, NT1888, March 8th

So far I have made two forays into the Cullaloe Hills, and both times I have covered barely half a km of territory in about an hour. If bryo recording meets move at glacial pace, then alone and unarmed with expert eyes I move at a pace that make glaciers seem in a bit of a hurry!

I have found new and interesting (for me) things each time though, and the species list is creeping up. Otherwise routine species still challenge me, and it's easy for me to get stumped with the ones I haven't seen before. I have some material which it feels like I can't gather any more information on and yet I still haven't succesfully ID'd them. Maybe the acquisition of Smith will help. Still, I learn something each time, which is what I enjoy the most.

Here's the uploaded GPS coverage from the two trips:
