Rows of beautiful palm and Banyan trees enhance the Cairns waterfront, the latter accentuated by subtle coloured feature lighting. The big daddy Banyan below has an amazing trunk, huge leafy canopy and is about 50 metres tall.
There were several impressive Monitor lizards (over a metre long) at the Whitsunday National Park - they weren't at all interested in the beach goers fortunately.
... no, not us! These stromatolites/rocky looking fossilised lumps at Shark Bay are the oldest and simplest forms of life on earth, dating back 4 million years.
These amazing layered sedimentary rocks near Port Arthur look like Inca paving stones, having eroded over millennia into oblong blocks about 40cm high. Australian geology/geography is really interesting and varied.
