Some ancient things in Morialta - Vale

Much of the flora you see in Morialta Park is very old. The native grass-trees or xanthorea grow very slowly and were possibly here before Captain Cook discovered Australia. The cliffs of the falls are also ancient. We are lucky to have this largely in tact area of bush on our doorstep.

This strange object is part of a dead & broken grass-tree trunk

 Right is an example of a very old grass tree

This eucalyptus is no youngster either!!
