You will find here a few of the pictures I made during two wonderful "orchid trips" to

• WA in Sept/Oct 2001, and
• SA in Sept/Oct 2003.

They depict a few of the most intriguing and spectacular terrestrial species growing in temperate Australia.

E. Delannoy kindly offered me to contribute his pictures of several trips to WA.

I am gratefully indebted to people who helped me in locating the plants : Andrew BROWN (WA) ; Cathy HOUSTON, Thelma BRIDLE and Andy YOUNG (SA).
