Rainforest
Posted 3 January 2009 in Random Photographs by Catriona
I took these photographs in Minnamurra Rainforest, at the base of the Illawarra escarpment. It is—according to my brother, who knows these things—the most southernly sub-tropical rainforest in Australia: after this, it’s temperate rainforest.
What I like about Minnamurra is the opportunity to take shots that play with light and shade, as well as all the water.
Come the return to Brisbane, however, I will actually be writing on this blog again, rather than simply uploading photographs.

It is a palm, Sam—my brother tells me it’s a cabbage palm.
It’s a lovely place, though half the paths are currently closed off for repair. We only did the basin walk: I’d like to do the walk to the top of the Minnamurra Falls at some point, too.

Sam, I have three similar palms at my place if you want them. They are about ten meters high and drop about five enormous spiky branches onto the ground per day.
