Australia Photo ~
Buttress roots seen near the base of
Wollumbin (Mt Warning), Northern NSW
Along the border between Queensland and NSW are some beautiful sections of rainforest.
Lamington National Park is on the Queensland side, and the Border Ranges is on the NSW side, along with Wollumbin (Mt Warning)
I love rainforest ~ Its not a form of vegetation I associate with Australia ~ but it’s ancientness is remarkable. Evidence of Gondwanaland lies here too in the form of Antarctic Beeches… but they’re another story 
These wonderful buttress roots
have grown around a rock over aeons of time!
To get a sense of scale see this post when I returned to this spot to show an overseas visitor this area
Man, I miss Australia. Been 7 years now, way too long. I made it to the Daintree Rainforest, it looked much like this. A gorgeous, compelling place I connected with on a visceral level.
I love the rainforest too. It’s so big, and lush, and green, and old – and that feeling that its been there for aeons is so comforting – Thank goodness in Australia the rainforest areas are World Heritage listed – They are precious
A great photo Linda. We saw plenty of images like this when you pointed us to Mt Warning, almost this time last year. Could almost go for another QLD Autumn visit! Lucky Michela to be up there!!
