This is a liitle piece of Australian bush at our property at Bluewater, North Queensland. It’s not PC to cal the grass trees “blackboys” anymore, but how could I avoid the lovely alliteration in calling it “Bluewater Blackboys” ? Bluewater xanthorroea just doesn’t cut it, really. It has a lot of textures in it – I used texture paste in an icing bag for the blackboys!

I found this bee feeding on flowers on a “blackboy” plant (otherwise known as a grass tree). The flowers are quite unique and I was lucky to capture them. This was at my block of land at Katoomba.

Deep in the Aussie bush we found these three Australian Grass Trees, looking for all the world as though they were performing a dance for us.

Known colloquially as Blackboys, for obvious reasons, the Australian Grass Tree is prevalent in almost all of our bush. Here we pass through a grove of such trees whilst out on a bush walk in our local Yanchep National Park a couple of days ago (28th April) Normally this is a walk best done in springtime when the whole area is ablaze with the colours of thouands of wildflowers but we now realise it is almost equally as attractive in late autumn! Yanchep National Park is some 55 kms north of Perth and is best known for it’s resident colony of Koalas as well as it’s hundreds of wild kangaroos.
