A RAIN forest Walk

My daughter and her boyfriend are up from Sydney for the week of Christmas and yesterday (Dec 24 here) we went for a drive into the Gold Coast rainforests.

I'll add posts to this thread as I process my photos.

On a wooden bridge over a rainforest creek we found this amazing creature ... a Spiny-Legged Rainforest Katydid.
After taking a couple of shots I moved him up onto a tree as you can see by in the final shot ...

I like the rainforest flora highlighted in the rainforest light ...

As a Strangler Fig lives off and slowly kills a rainforest tree, staghorns live on the Fig

Might have time in a couple of days to get the waterfall photos up. ... here's a teaser ...

Natural Bridge Waterfall ... where the river flows through a hole in the creek bed and falls into a cave of Glow Worms and Mini Bent Bats.

Very cool set MA. Love the look of the Spiny-Legged Rainforest Katydid (cool name for that one too..) and especially #5 as well which is just very simple, pure, and super crisp. Nice :-)

Leaf shots for me please!

I like the second shot of the katydid best. Weird looking critter.

Thanks Bambi, Casil and Q1 :)
