summit Mount Royal. Privet leaf pomaderris (Pomaderris ligustrina)

The dark tree is the pomaderris. The pale trees are Hill Water gum. My New Zealand friend disliked this place saying "err, eeoo, yeoah, err, not as good as New Zealand."

The pomaderris were up to 8 metres tall at Mount Royal, much larger than is suggested by PlantNet, the government resource for native plants. Not known as rainforest trees, nor even trees. These pomaderris were identified by professional government botanists.

Mount Royal summit, 1185 metres above sea level - Hill Water Gum, (Tristaniopsis collina).

The mountain summit marker is invisible from the air or nearby mountains, as the 5 metre tall rainforest has covered the ground again.

The summit of the mountain is covered in low rainforest. The basalt plateau up top has rainforest up to 20 metres tall. The edges of the basalt areas are rocky, covered in moss, ferns and nettles.

The slope of the mountain is eucalyptus country with a grassy forest floor.
