Back on the road to Kangaroo Valley with roadside rainforest.

Now back from my latest wanderings and I'll try to catch up over the coming days. This is subtropical rainforest at the edge of the National Park, on the road to Kangaroo Valley. Quite a comparison with the cleared farmland below!

How about a salad of freshly picked rainforest fungus, sitting in a bed of green mosses? Don't even think about it ! Most Australian fungi are toxic beyond belief. Macro Mondays No 176, 26 October 2020. Topic "Toxic".

From the end of the overhanging cantilevered walkway (note), it is somewhat unusual to be looking down on palm trees! HFF and best wishes for a great weekend, everyone. Explored.

The full name is the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk. From occasional points on the ground, this elevated walkway mainly proceeds at tree level through the rainforest, culminating in this overhanging cantilevered walkway. HFF, everyone.

I've been out in the rainforest again. Explored.

Seen in the rainforest.

Back in the temperate rainforest where the light levels were very low. This little fungus was on a rotting log and I confess it wasn't until I uploaded the image that I saw the tiny bug on top.

A patch of sunlight breaking through the greenery of the rainforest to light the base of this fig. I'm unsure of the exact species (there are several), but they all parasitise other trees. They grow from a seed dropped by birds high in the branches of the host, then drop roots to ground level and proceed to grow around the host tree, strangling it in the process. Best viewed on black. Explored.

Fungi on rotting timber in temperate rainforest, NSW south coast. Explored.

Visiting a patch of temperate rainforest. Best viewed large.
