CANCELLED - The Badas Pitcher Plant Walk planned for Thursday Jun 18 unfortunately has to be cancelled because of fires currently burning there along the Badas road. It is really very sad to see this area with beautiful Pitcher plants being burned (see attachment).
See how it was and how it is now:
