The track eventually descends 50m or so down to the Georges River. It is cooler and wetter here, so there are a few ferns growing along with the grass trees.

The wildflowers that grow here are different to the ones on top of the ridge. Flannel flowers are absent here. Instead we see the first spray of wattle…

A type of pea flower…

And another one of my favourites, heath bell flowers, which are making their first appearance.
