Yesterday I visited Wandoo National Park [I Love National Parks]
If you remember, my previous Park visit was the Kalamunda National Park. Thick with impenetrable trees
A Wandoo Woodland is so totally different. Open woodland with next to no understory. A vehicle can drive through a Wandoo Woodland as the trees are well spaced. The Whitish mounds are defunct Termite Mounds

This Woodland is the perfect habitat for Numbats though there are no longer Numbats this far North. They have retreated southwards about 150 kms from here. (Not my Photo)
My car amongst the Wandoo Trees
A stand of Grasstrees. Commonly known as Blackboys but now considered politically incorrect to use this name. The small spindly tree on the right is called a SnottyGobble Tree🤧
Open Woodland
A mammal that is quite common here is the Echidna - Spiny Anteater One of only two egg laying Mammals in the world. The other being the Platypus (Not my Photo)
Echidnas can eat 10,000 termites a day. Here is a scratching, evidence of an Echidna in the area.
