13 Oct 2020 FILM DIARY

Robyn cut my hair the day before I left for Longreach. She told me that there was a shiny leaf stinging tree growing at the edge of the rainforest adjoining her back garden. We arranged that I would film the tree on my return, which I have just done. The tree had grown to a maximum height of about 4 metres. The bulk of its foliage was clear of obstructing vegetation and by filming close to the boundary fence, I managed to get some reasonable shots of the trunk. In a week or two I need to go to Palm Grove to check on the growth of the giant stinging tree I filmed last month.
