Daintree National Park
Mamiya 6MF, Ektachrome PRZ2048, digitised by photographing the original 60mm transparency on a light pad; tethered capture in Lightroom, development in Photoshop.
The geotag is very approximate - within 5km, perhaps, but certainly in the National Park.
The buttress roots of a tree in the rainforest.
"Much of the national park is covered by tropical rainforest. The Greater Daintree Rainforest has existed continuously for more than 110 million years, making it possibly the oldest existing rainforest. The persistence of this rainforest is believed to be a product of a fortuitous continental drift; after the breakup of its parent supercontinent a portion drifted toward the pole to become Antarctica, disturbing ocean currents and becoming quite chilly, while other portions were moved to hotter and drier locations. The rainforests of the parent continent preserved its climate, and so also its original trees. Tree species, once thought to be long extinct, have only relatively recently been discovered here."
