Nice photography. That beach could well be of the Dalmeny/Narooma coast, but I guess they all look alike down there to a northerner LOL. Your photos suggest to me I should follow suit. I commenced identifying bushtucker from the local Yolngu people back in 1972 and took my kid's school classes to coast and bush to learn the same. Soon I will be doing so in earnest near the Wessel Islands in NE Arnhem Land as I will be living entirely on what I hunt, forage for, and grow, pretty much into the indeterminable future. I might as well; record what I learn. But who to send it to? That is the question.
JP, here’s the IDs, in order from unnamed first plant photo onwards-
Solanum pseudocapsicum, Jerusalem Cherry
Pittosporum revolutum
Dipodium variegatum, a saprophytic orchid
Comesperma ericinum, Matchheads
Goodenia ovata, Hop Bush
Coopernookia barbata ( nice find)
Formosanum Lilies from Taiwan
Then your UNID species-
1. Alyxia buxifolia, Sea Box
2. Phytolacca octandra, Ink Weed
3. Gahnia melanocarpa, Black fruited saw sedge
4. Datura stramonium, Thornapple
5. Marsdenia rostrata
6. Pelargonium australe
7. Notolaea longifolia, native olive
8. Synoum glandulosum, scentless rosewood.
And the mushies
9. A likely Macrolepiota sp.
10. You’re on the money.
Cheers,
Ross
