Kind of a mixed bag, mostly not quite ready, another 2 weeks, but an uneducated observation says a lot of sporadic blooming, some bushes past it, some in their prime, most not ready and quite a lot of 'damaged' flower heads. I did a circuit from Lake Nameless to Blue Peaks via Turanna Heights, so not really The Walls...the best I saw was near Turanna Bluff and I didn't have my camera as it was a wet sidetrip :(

I'm in Tassie atm and was up at Cradle on Sunday. Not much Scoparia to be seen in bloom. Might depend on where you look but the only spot I noticed it was coming off the Face track heading towards Kitchen hut. And that mostly looked past it's best although a few plants had some reasonable colour, with maybe some still to bloom. Best spot I have ever seen is on the Junction Lake track South of Lake Meston in WoJ area in 2008/9 at this time of year. Absolute fields of it in a few places. Also on the slopes of Mt Jerusalem and near Dixons Kingdom. I guess it depends on seasonal factors.
