Hairy Red Pittosporum

These brightly coloured fruits and seeds are found on the Pittosporum rubiginosum plant, also known as The Hairy Red Pittosporum. Endemic to Australia, this photo was taken in the Daintree Rainforest in Far North Queensland.

Barron River

This majestic looking river runs from the Atherton Tablelands down to meet the Coral Sea, just north of Cairns. The Barron River has some spectacular falls (see later posts), especially in the Wet Season, and is also home to the Saltwater Crocodile which is found in many of the rivers of Far North Queensland. This photo was taken from the Skyrail Cableway.
