The flower stalk on the grass tree is full of nectar, so when you get a flower stalk, just run your hand down it and it's covered in glucose, and just lick it off, it's just pure, sweet sugars.
Every grass tree and sapling was essential as a hand-hold before we eventually emerged on a mossy rock face and eased ourselves past wild orchids without mishap.
We've got some rare basalt woodlands and 600 or 800 year old grass trees, and quite a few endangered species.
And for gardeners there is much to admire such as a 400-year-old Australian grass tree, or the yellow Justica, a plant Blake first saw in Costa Rica where a humming bird seeking nectar became the subject of one of his paintings.
The perfectly symmetrical prickly balled yacca or Australia grass tree, which takes 100 years to grow a central trunk, is my favourite.
