  1. Hi Brad,
    Is that kangaroo paw? And are those boulders remnants from glacial action? They look similar to the ones at Lake Mountain.

  2. Hi Lena,
    That is a kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos, family Haemodoraceae). One of the 7 Australian genera (worldwide 14 genera with 100 species). This example was in Kings Park in Perth WA, its natural range.
    The boulders are granite, located on the escarpment of Deep Creek at Bulla NW of Melbourne. This geology of this region is influenced by the volcanic flows from Mt Macedon and associated former volcanoes.
