Frenchman's Peak and Mungi flowers : Evening . . .

The Frenchman's Peat at Cape Le Grand National Park in Western Australia was named by surveyor Alexander Forest during an expedition in search of good country for pasture in 1870. The shape of the peak on top of the solid rock mountain was thought to resemble the hats worn by French troops in the 1800s. The Mungi flowers grow wild and bloom around Christmas in Esperance and Western Australia. Here they glow reddish orange in the late evening sun.
