Not walking, just spotted where I'm camped

[Neo]

Fresh tips on a wattle

[Neo]

Lomandra, they all have a W like leaf tip.

[Neo]

Hakea in the Blueys, this one's iut now

[Neo]

Carpobrotus glaucescens, common on the east coast

[Neo]

Xanthorrhoea spp. A couple of old friends in a gully near the Slot at Bungonia NP

[Neo]

A large teatree flower, about 3cm across. Guessing it's a Leptospermum? Was at Belmore Falls a lookout near Fitzroy Falls, southern highlands NSW. That area is like a mini Blue Mountains, closer to the ocean/minus the Sydney!

[Neo]

Very short teatree species in Abercrombie NP, was the main or most noticeable understory plant in a pretty dry bush area

[Neo]

It's a violet, not sure if I picked the best focused pic here, Abercrombie NP a couple of weeks ago

[Neo]

Cool lookin gumtree bark, Abercrombie NP. Anyone know the variety?

That's enough pics from me! Cheers to the BW crew for this site of information and sharing

Nitpicking here but it should be Xanthorrhoea sp.
sp. = When referring to a plant in a genus but the species is unknown
spp. = When referring to some or all of the species in a genus
ssp. = subspecies

Thanks for the top tips. Screenshot taken. Always forget the spelling of that one and confused by the extra p too!
Too lazy to get into identifying specific species. Have some nice key guides and have seen some excellent reference books.
There is on species that has a no or subterranean trunk and a flower spike that looks more like a Bottlebrush. It may be an X. minor

Your spelling of Xanthorrhoea was correct. Just the extra 'p' wasn't. As I said though I was just nitpicking. You are also correct that X. minor doesn't grow a trunk above ground.

Waratahs flowering already in a couple of places. Seems a bit early.

[Neo]

Hmm not sure, saw my first wild ones around Upper Colo about a month ago.

[north-north-west]

Telopea truncata, ie: Tasmanian Waratah. In Tasmania. Can't recall ever seeing them earlier than December.

[Neo]

Nice. I wanna see a photo!

Other things out there of course:

I think your third photo (purple flower) is Black Eyed Susan (Tetratheca pilosa)

[ofuros]

Not sure if this is a Davidson Plum or a Black Plum, should have opened
it up to find out....amongst the Palm groves of Tamborine NP, Qld.

Leaning towards the Black Plum...a good excuse to return & find out for sure.

Saw this Rough Tree Fern (Cyathea australis) yesterday. It had been split in half by a huge fallen gum tree. It looked like the tree has been down for a long time so I was amazed the fern was still clinging to life.

What is it?
It's a grass flower, close up. Amazingly complex things.
Near Anvil Rock, Blue Mts.
