On another tread someone wanted a cycad you could walk under, here is one, it's a Cycas megacarpa located in the Goodnight Scrub National Park located about 30min west of our property in Childers.

It's about 7m (24') tall and pretty thin, (i'm 6' tall) the lower trunk has footholes carved that the aboriginals used to used to gather the seeds for food. This is probably the tallest megacarpa still alive and it is estimated to be between 500-800 years old.
