I was told by the locals that
this is called Turkey Bush. From researching the Net I gather it
is calytrix exstipulata Maybe it is regarded as a pest as it seems to be very prevalent but if it is, it's a very colourful one |

These 2 shots are of a beautiful
flower Judy found in the surrounds of the Wangi Falls Caravan Park.
The flower emerges from a straggly stick.
If it wasn't for the amazing coloured flowers, you wouldn't take a
second look. I researched it and found it to be a Red Flowering Kurrajong, apparently a Brachychiton paradoxum |
