Hi Everyone,
I have finished migrating all the data across to the new web server in Sydney and all the galleries are available again. The special pages such as Flower Colour and Fruits have their own galleries again too.
Thanks for your patience while I got this done.
I appreciate your ongoing feedback on content corrections, etc. We are working on updating as we can. Apologies if any suggestions have fallen through the cracks, please feel free to get in touch again and remind me!
Best regards,
All of the plants shown in this website grow on Magnetic Island, 8 kilometres (5 miles) offshore from Townsville in North Queensland, Australia.
The island is in the dry tropics
The average rainfall is about 1500 mm (58 inches), most of it falling in the "wet season" (December to March). The rest of the year is very dry.
The plants described here may be found in the bushland near one of the walking tracks, or on one of the beaches, or by the roadside, or in the parks, or in private gardens.
