The tallest examples of Linospadix monostachyos I’ve ever come across. I didn’t takes pictures of the largest specimens as my IPhone just wasn’t up to the job, but I’d say some of them were at least 6-7 metres tall, and they were everywhere.

Also an abundance of Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, Calamus muelleri, and a small stand of Lepidozamia peroffskyana. 

Brush-tailed Rock Wallabies all over the joint, but too quick for me to get a shot.

For those of you that frequent Facebook, I’ve set up a group called “Pommy palms”, where many of the palms I’ve seen since emigrating to Australia have been documented. If you wish to be a member, copy and paste “Pommy palms” into Facebook to view the page and click “Join group”.

It looks like they are taking advantage of the protection from the larger palms. Interesting trunk formation on that one palm. Harry

Aerial roots on a Bangalow Harry. Quite commonly seen in moist habitats.

There are some amazing plants up there.  I would like to go back again one day but can't face that horrible drive up the mountain. There used to be a few big Linospadix at the Kholo botanic gardens but I haven't been there since the last big flood.  Around Cunninghams Gap is another place to see palms and cycads in habitat and a much easier drive that to Mt Tambourine.

I came. I saw. I purchased

Warm subtropical, with occasional frosts.

The drive up there wasn't too bad, especially at 6.30 am on a Saturday. The trail itself was not well maintained, with many ankle breaker rocks and fallen trees to contend with. That worked in our favour though as we did not see another soul during the 3.5 hour hike.

I have never heard of that botanical garden so it's now on the list to check out, thanks.

Nice photos, nothing better than a mountain walk before everyone else gets out of bed!
