Weather-wise, we are most closely aligned to this station in winter (a bit hotter in summer, and more humid).
Latest Capital City Observations Sydney - Observatory Hill
Growing under a 50/50 tree canopy, mostly angophora, spotted gum and scribbly-bark gum. There is periodic fire in the region, probably every decade or so a good blaze goes through. The only other orchids I can think of in the area are Dendrobium speciosum and Cymbidium suave. There are a handful of terrestrial species growing in more open country. I cant think of what else is relevant.
Heres another specimen that was growing on the same rock. Rather interesting the way its sheltering under the rock edge, I guess its seeking moisture too.
