This photo was taken on the Forest Way bush walk in the Royal National Park, it show the Cabbage tree (Livistona australis) palms at their best, the Illawarra escarpment is full of these palms also, for me it is a signature of home. This is moist Eucalyptus forest that following a river for most of the way, the palms are coming up new and you can walk through a tunnel of them somewhere on the middle of the bush walk. If you have a large garden and are after the tropical look these palms are the way to go, with the sunshine coming through their fan like leaves you can’t help but feel like you are far from the urban madness.
