Well that is certainly interesting. Do you have a name for it?

Hi Sheila,
This is such a unique and interesting find and capture! I've never seen anything like it before. An excellent shot of it. \/

They look like the Kiwi bird !!
I often wonder at Sir Joseph Banks surprise upon seeing our botany for the first time...back then you would hardly place a pin between them they were so dense in growth.
Along the coast between Qld border & Byron, near Kingscliff they grow by the thousands...land development is spreading so that wont be the case for much longer sadly.
Great shot, Sheila
