Heathcote National Park, southern outskirts of Sydney, New South Wales. Track from Waterfall Station to Kingfisher Pool.The only spike of flowers I saw, presumably the last of the season. Above my eye level and with a bright overcast sky, it was something of an exposure challenge, but a final tweak increasing gamma and cutting back contrast (in Irfanview, believe it or not!) before uploading gave an acceptable result.

Young plants are a beautiful pink with green tips - hence the name - Matchstick Banksia. The flowers open showing yellow and age to orange. Flowering time - September to December.
