It is sunny as we arrive at The Springs and order our lunch to be ready on our return
The Octopus Tree. Eucalyptus delegatensis. The leaves are assymetrically joined to the stem and the leaf has a curved point. It has many common names and is an important timber tree.
Heading to the turn off onto Lower Sawmill Track
Up we go
All happy so far!
Not so happy, stopping for a breather.
A floral interlude while we rest...
Sassafras
Probably Cyathodes juniperina (also Leptacophylla)
Cyathodes glaucoma (Cheeseberry)
Debate over this one. Dillwinya or Oxylobium, on balance I think Oxylobium ellipticum.
Olearia (Dusty daisies)
Mystery plant found below Sphinx Rock. Possibly Lycopodium.
Snowberry? Gaultheria hispida
And not floral...but nearly
Interesting history here.
