Photos Bussekin in the rainforest

[Currawong]

Today I did a hike into some cool temperate rainforest in south east New South Wales, Australia. Thought I’d take the opportunity to get a few photos of some Bussekin in their natural environment.

On the side of the road on the way in. This landholder doesn’t like people very much.

Driving into the forest.

I left the road here and headed into the forest to the left.

The edge of the rainforest.

I found the creek and walked downstream. The whole walk down was like this, rock hopping over boulders and big logs.

… and the occasional small cliff

This rainforest has some big trees. This is a Brown Barrel (eucalyptus) with Black Olive-berry behind it (cool temperate rainforest trees).

A lot of fallen branches in the way of the view

No problem

It’s a big tree and I wanted to use something for scale. An Infidu made a peg and I hung a BB13 on it.

Needs more knives for scale

I walked around and took a few panorama photos

At one point my leg fell through a false floor into this hole, right up to my crotch on one side and above my hip on the other. I was stuck pretty good. It was between large granite boulders; the hole kept going down into darkness. While I was working my way free, I was sure I felt something tugging on my leg !

Wow again, thats pretty horrific, its like the final scene from Harlan Ellison's "A Boy and His Dog", I read the graphic novel version by Richard Corben once, it was shockingly sad and I never opened that book again. Glad you werent captured by a giant ground spider mate

Yep, once you step out of the rainforest everything is already looking extremely dry. I've spent the last week clearing a fire break around the house. Things are only going to get hotter and drier.

That is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge tree.

I wonder what was pulling on your leg down in the darkness!!

Great pics mate

Some of those pictures looks like it came out of the Dinosaur Era. Wish it wasn't so expensive to fly there and visit.
