Pink Flannel Flower (Actinotus forsythii)

Pink Flannel flowers (Actinotus forsythii) in full bloom in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. These flowers are extremely rare and can be seen on exposed rocky escarpments in this region and in scattered parts of eastern Australia, from the Blue Mountains to north-eastern Victoria. They are rare as they rely on rain fall after a bush fire for seed germination to occur and flowering usually occurs in late summer. During the summer of 2019-2020 in Australia fires ripped through the Blue Mountains World Heritage area damaging nearly 80% of the area. Twelve months on nature is rebounding and these flowers are part of the regeneration process

Wild-flowers in bloom during late spring British Admiral beach on King Island

King Island, lush green pastures and wild coastal reserves is an island which is situated on the Western side of Bass Strait, and is part of the Australian state of Tasmania. It is the largest of the islands known as the New Year Group, and the second-largest island in Bass Strait. The island is famous for its soft cheese production, superb beef cattle and kelp seaweed processing. It has wild and rugged coastlines and an infamous history of shipwrecks. Over 300 vessels were wrecked on or near the Island's coastline, mainly in colonial times. One of these shipwrecks was the worst peacetime maritime disaster in Australia's history
