Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Reflections – Carnarvon Gorge Carnarvon National Park, Queensland, Australia. Carnarvon Gorge is between Roma and Emerald. The rugged 16,000ha Carnarvon Gorge section of Carnarvon National Park is the most popular destination in Queensland’s central highlands. Remnant rainforest flourishes in the sheltered side-gorges while endemic cabbage tree palms Livistona nitida, ancient cycads, ferns, flowering shrubs and gum trees line the meandering main gorge. Grassy open forest grows on the cliff tops. The park’s creeks attract a wide variety of animals including more than 173 species of birds. / Aboriginal rock art on sandstone overhangs is a fragile reminder of Aboriginal people’s long and continuing connection with the gorge. Some of the finest Aboriginal rock art in Australia, including ochre stencils, rock engravings and freehand paintings, can be seen at Baloon Cave, the Art Gallery and Cathedral Cave.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Pretty Face Wallaby The “Whiptail” is commonly called the “Pretty Face” wallaby, because of its white cheek stripes that are very prominent against the almost black face, and makes it look very pretty. It is named after its ‘whip’ of fur, which grows from the end of its very long tail. Not many people get to see this whip, as it does not develop until a male is about 6-7 years old. (I’m not sure whether the whip actually develops on the female’s tail). But names can be deceiving, as although it is pretty, it is not the most endearing wallaby to anyone other than who raised it. Whiptails are very social creatures, grazing in mobs of up to fifty, although they tend to group in numbers of ten to fifteen. Carnarvon Gorge, Carnarvon National Park, Queensland.
Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery The Moss Garden Quite a hike to the Moss Garden – lots of stairs!! You enter the Moss Garden via a boardwalk, and at the end of the boardwalk is this amazing oasis, where the ancient Giant King Ferns take pride of place! When Carnarvon Gorge floods, this would become quite a spectacular waterfall! Carnarvon Gorge, Carnarvon National Park, Queensland.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Native Rosella Hibiscus heterophyllus (Common name – Native Rosella) is a medium to large shrub of open habit, from about 3-6 metres high. The leaves are up to 200 mm long by 100 mm wide and may be linear to oval shaped either entire or 3-lobed. Flowers are large, up to 150 mm in diameter of typical hibiscus shape. In common with most Hibiscus species, the individual flowers last only 1-2 days but new flowers continue to open over a long period, generally from spring through to summer. The blooms are variable in colour and may be white, pink or yellow with a deep red centre. They are followed by hairy seed capsules containing a number of seeds. The hairs on the capsules can cause severe skin irritation and need to be handled with care. / The flower buds can be made into a jam. Other parts of the plant are also edible and have been used by Aboriginal people as a food source. / Hibiscus heterophyllus are found in open forests from the south coast of New South Wales to north-east Queensland Hibiscus...from Greek, hibiskos, the marsh mallow, a malvaceous plant that grows in marshy conditions. / heterophyllus... having leaves of more than one kind There are more than 300 Hibiscus species which occur mainly in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Australia has about 40 native species, most of which are endemic. There are also a number of closely related genera in Australia with Hibiscus-like flowers.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology this roll cloud originated in the Pilbara region of North West Western Australia from severe thunderstorms. This image is taken at the 1 Mile Jetty Carnarvon WA about 500km as the crow flys from the location of the thunderstorms. Associated with the roll cloud was a drop in atmospheric pressure and a reported sudden drop in sea water level by about 500mm according to boat owners moored in bays of adjacent islands.
Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Carnarvon Hotel Mural The most senior official at Port Arthur was the Commandant. Located on the fringe of settlement, the Commandant’s House enjoyed a commanding prospect over the rest of the settlement. The house began life in 1833 as a simple wooden cottage, to become a many-roomed complex fringed by ornate gardens and pathways. High masonry walls divided the residence from the rest of settlement. After the close of the convict period in 1877, the building became the Carnarvon Hotel in 1885 and later a guest house which operated until the 1930’s.
