Flynns Beach

Cunjevoi Pyura stolonifera washed up with various treasures attached


Barnacles, maybe Tesseropora rosea, green Sea Lettuce Ulva sp. and pink weed is Amphiroa anceps


Leather Kelp Eklonia radiata, and at the right back is Green Velvet Weed Codium fragile


Neptunes Necklace Hormosira banksii


Sea Stars of the eight-armed variety Patiriella calcar




Waratah anemone Actinia tenebrosa and Zebra Top Shells Austrocochlea porcata


I was happy to discover this unusual shady tree was a native, but then saddened to find out it is endangered.


Necklacepod Sophora tomentosa


Port Macquarie is a stronghold for this species


Long necklace pods visible against the sky


A Shag on a rock...


Little Black Cormorant Phalacrocorax sulcirostris




Green Serpentite rocks showing up clearly in this shaded shot of a little decorated cave


Black rock masses were sticking out from within the greener material (not a geologist)
