Prickly leaf paperbark (Melaleuca styphelioides)

Satellite imagery suggested this site might contain rainforest. So, I had a look today. There was a small amount of rainforest, but the area was mostly swamp forest, dominated by paperbark trees.

 

This area is on the edge of a rainforest, with plenty of rainforest species present. The sunny aspect and numerous paperbark trees make this definable as a swamp forest. It was very wet underfoot. Amazingly, there were no leeches and no mosquitos encountered today.
