Leanne’s Monochrome Madness
During last years walk in the Gibraltar Ranges National Park to see the Waratahs flowering, I also found a bit more to photograph as well. Not only were the Waratahs in flowering glory but so many other plants were doing well. The fire of December 2019 laid the whole mountain bare of vegetation so it was so lovely to find that there has been a good recovery commencing.
One of the first to return were Tree Ferns and three years later they were al growing well. Many of Australians flora are adapted to fire and some require fire or smoke for the seeds to germinate.
This is a classic Tree Fern frond curling photo.

A lovely shot of the tree fern frond! It’s always amazing how quickly the forest/brush regenerates after a fire!
