it was up near a set of falls at mt tambourine on the gold coast. maybe you should have. my roots were no where as big as yours but from memory it would have been about 7 foot to the base of the trunk.

Couple more from up at Copeland. Looking down to the creek from an old miners residence. Old shaft. Mine, you can tell the race of miners in australia by the shape of their mines. Europeans dug rectangle holes and walked in. The Chinese dug round holes and crawlwd in. I reckon the Chinese were a bit smarter as they didnt have to move so much rock and dirt to access the reefs. This one was a tight squeeze to get into but opened up on the other side of the collapse. It had a colony of glow worms which were pretty cool. Dendrobium speciosum. var taberi. There were 12 species of orchids in the space of a football field. Tailing pile. The Stamping Battery was behind me. The tailings basically filled in a steep gully between ridges. Tailing pile looking from one spure to the next. Un named Mine entrance that produced the tailings. The tunnel was flooded and impassable about 40 meters in.
