Curly Beans
These are the fern moss's early stage "arm". It will slowly uncurls and become the stalks which you see in the picture too. This picture was taken at the Otways National Park in Great Ocean Road. It is one of the few forest left in Australia. There was a lot of those "Curly Beans" around as we are slowly moving to spring season.
Otway National Park is perfect for a wide variety of recreational and nature-based activities. Some of the most rugged and inaccessible coastline in Victoria lies in the 12,876 hectare park, an invitation to the adventurous to explore this 60-kilometre stretch from Apollo Bay to Princetown, reached via the Great Ocean Road.
The Otways were formed 150 million years ago when the great southern land mass known as Gondwana began to break up. Part of the coastline is rich in fossils, including those of a dinosaur that roamed here 105 million years ago. Aboriginal communities hunted in the coastal woodlands with fire, dingoes and spears. Although the steep slopes and tall forest of the Otways were a barrier to European settlement, settlers eventually began to move in.
