hold on... hold on...
did you see that border force ep with the unicorns?
mm, my best bet would be to google when I stayed in blackers' recommend, and saw totally unicorn prior to a melbs chick group, , we were chatting, the singer smashed my beer.
yep, "totally unicorn swellnet" search will get you there.
playing piano with my son, he's into just simple right hand loops
(like a normal) then chats then bed. back in a bit.
(totally unicorn had a freeeloady mate come into aus fgrom US, with about $2 per day in his pocket,
and acted like an entitled guy, where if he was brown, woulda got laughed at)

Blackers. Hi, hope your travels are good ones.
Spot on. Hi rates of evapotranspiration ( the sum total of water loss through leaves and stems, in fact any part of the plant) and the plant evolving with that type of stem/leaves set up reduced to scales, windy up there, amazing plant life but a lot of wind. AW.
AW quite a few years ago I was having a chat with a bloke who married into a family who owned land along the track going to the Eurimbula Creek campground. He was telling me that the grandfather, or great grandfather, was a timber cutter and purchased roughly a square mile parcel of untouched land that butts up to the creek, you can see the outline clearly marked on some maps. At the time though old grandad never got around to felling any timber so the family now have a parcel of land that is very close to being as it was when Captain Cook and Joseph Banks were anchored at 1770, according to Bank's journal there were native fires in the vicinity when the Endeavour was anchored in the bay. On a satellite view it even appears that there is a different colour and texture to the tree canopy as a lot of that district has been cut over time, even if it doesn't seem so because of the extensive regrowth.
Today there is a small area cleared for a few houses however back when the track was cut in and the houses were being built National Park rangers were consulted first and they had a large say in what timber was to be left standing. Apparently they were finding trees that they've never or very rarely seen in the area, Antarctic Beech is one that sticks in my memory, fairly vague about the others though as the conversation was about 25 years ago. He did say the rangers were pretty excited about what they were seeing. Possibly Red Cedar as well, I know it grows behind the escarpment adjacent to Gladstone so not far away from Eurimbula. It's a really nice area through there, glad you're enjoying it.
How interesting is that, thanks Fliplid
^ just wish I could remember what else he told me was growing there, it was a fair collection of species
Seems a keen interest for some, so why not.
