Cannonball Mangroves are found along the coast of Australia from Queensland to Western Australia and are named for the fact that they "explode" when ripe, scattering their seeds to catch the tides. The fruits grow up to 20 cm in diameter. This was photographed in the Marrdja area of Cape Tribulation.

Photographed along the Marrdja Botanical Rainforest walk in the area of Cape Tribulation, these palms are magnificent. We had traveled from Port Douglas to the area of Cape Tribulation and spent a day there exploring this remarkable place where "rainforest meets reef."
