The vegetation is sometimes interesting.

Here are some fairly common Australian dry-climate type trees, with their light-coloured trunks and random branching.

In the wet forests, there are enormous creeper vines.
These are shiny because they're just above a popular boardwalk and pretty much everyone has a bit of a swing.

Slightly odder are these yaccas, or grass trees. We used to call these blackboys, but that's not the done thing, anymore.

And these are, I think, cycads. Perhaps Ali can confirm.
