was nothing more Necessary for me to be furnished
with in my march, his orders I quickly obeyed, and
finished my Spoon with So much Dixterity, yt my
master was Verey well pleased with me",

Walk In The Forest.

Inside a fox den.

Rivardenia Cretacea, a tinder bracket fungus which I found on the ground where it had fallen from a tree.

Same fungus as above which is growing low down on the trunk.


Punk Wood found in the base of a Manna Gum tree. All types of trees produce punk wood.

The Last Of The Three Sisters To Be Brought In. Pumpkins.
