From the forest floor, a backlit tree-fern frond (Dicksonia antarctica).
This is an older, previously logged, regenerating forest not a plantation and the dominant species is Eucalytpus regnans or Mountain Ash (among many names). The species grows very quickly and can reach 65m in around fifty years. The trees around the fern here are about that age and it is the butt of one such tree that provides the dark, tapering backdrop.
Growing so large and so quickly means E. regnans is a fabulous carbon sink with mature trees also providing habitat for countless species of birds, mammals and invertebrates.
