Once we were back in the car, the short drive to the Don't Drive Tired sign delivered us to a landscape that looked, on the surface, amazingly unpromising. The signs of bushfire activity were all too obvious, and as we parked about a hundred metres off the bitumen it wasn't hard to imagine motorists zooming past and ruefully shaking their heads at the sight of such devastation.
On the ground, however, as you looked there was more and more to be discovered.
Nothing very big, mind you, so hurtling along the highway it'd be easy to miss them, but scattered across the landscape were small patches of orchids and other wildflowers that were quite wonderful.
