<p>Vine Borrowing a trunk</p>

<p>Too much trail work and not enough riding will send anyone around the twist</p>

<p>Nerang as the evening comes on</p>

<p>Tree Trifids</p>

<p>Colourful bush</p>

<p>Four days earlier the ground was barren after a controlled burn</p>

<p>A swathe of green</p>

<p>Kangaroo Grass growing on rock</p>

<p>Someone's made a statement</p>

<p>A nice afternoon mapping out the new Casuarina and Three Hills line</p>

<p>Moss and vines. Nothing last long here</p>

<p>One side of this tree trunk was coloured red brown. Not sure why</p>

<p>Fungi of all sorts popped up after a recent downpour. Many in places you'd never expect</p>

<p>A quiet spot where roos come to drink</p>

<p>On the way home from digging you take time to enjoy the simple things</p>

<p>Platypus Tree</p>

<p>Pic 47 in this gallery shows how this looked just a while ago. Nature is reclaiming the fallen log</p>

<p>Standing guard at a creek on Three Hills</p>

<p>Weird spidery stuff</p>

<p>Wonderful trees on the creekside slopes of hill three</p>

<p>A tree scar from a recent storm</p>

<p>This little guy is always bright and happy</p>

<p>A very Aussie skyline</p>

<p>Sunburst after a cloudy day</p>

<p>Unless you like 10 tonnes of wood on your head, don't hang out here</p>

<p>Very colourful, but it's a weed near North Street Fire Road</p>

<p>Canopy tree</p>

<p>A tree wart</p>

<p>His arm torn off, this tree carries on with a minimal dressing</p>

<p>In an open air theatre</p>

<p>Amazing theatre down lighting</p>

<p>A happy triple grass tree</p>

<p>Alzheimer's of the forest</p>

<p>Doing the twist, just like last Summer</p>

<p>Flourishing life around a tree cavity</p>

<p>There's nothing boring about the ground</p>

<p>Life over death after a reprieve</p>

<p>History of the park. A long time ago this tree was sentenced to death and it is not happy</p>

<p>You Shall Not Pass</p>

<p>Geometric tree</p>

<p>There's tesselated bark and then there's tesselated bark</p>

<p>Looking up at the canopy</p>

<p>Looking down from the canopy</p>

<p>A spotted gum with a foot</p>

<p>Yep, that's dogshit</p>

<p>Part of an outdoor challenge route that goes straight down a creek line. I doubt QPWS would let us do that</p>

<p>Colouful growth on a fallen tree, like little trumpets</p>

<p>Some funky trees</p>

<p>Barney's Brown Frog at home</p>

<p>More Nerang decay</p>

<p>Not everyting is green</p>

<p>Colourful country</p>

<p>A green day</p>

<p>Nice weeds</p>

<p>Brightness on a dull day</p>

<p>Seasonal creek</p>

<p>Fungi are cool</p>

<p>Last time I saw this, it was more black and white!</p>

<p>Wounds</p>

<p>Wet</p>

<p>Seasonal deep water</p>

<p>Downhill flow</p>

<p>Sometimes it gets really wet in the park and we warn riders it may be better to stay home</p>

<p>Man this flying saucer just came winging in and slammed this tree man</p>

<p>Grey gum with a history</p>

<p>A large tree on Casuarina</p>

<p>This fell from the spotted gum. It might be hollow, but it will still splat you into paste</p>

<p>It's alive Alive I say. Some things just make no sense</p>

<p>Do trees really melt in the rain?</p>

<p>Even the trees were foaming at the mouth watching us work</p>

<p>Scarey, weird and oh so intriguing.</p>

<p>Berry pretty</p>

<p>Rad er Red fungus</p>

<p>Looks like he fought to the end</p>

<p>The sun sets over a warm afternoon of trailwork</p>

<p>We don't want to just dig. This place is cool</p>

<p>A room with a view</p>

<p>The Twisted Tree</p>

<p>Kookaburra sentry?</p>

<p>Big</p>

<p>Vicious vines</p>

<p>Pretty flowers on a vine with attitude</p>

<p>Somewhere to sleep</p>

<p>Thriving in the sun</p>

<p>A large pocket of ferns</p>

<p>Danger! Dead trees, hang-ups, widow-makers and other dangers can be above you anywhere in the bush, even above fire roads. This tree was 70cm in diameter, had burned and become hung-up on another before finally falling across a trail</p>

<p>Hiding in the litter</p>

<p>Up-close tree and distant sea</p>

<p>Gold Coast views</p>

<p>Summer rains flow over rare slabs of rock</p>
