Possibly Pertusaria truncata.

This lichen was on just about every Nothofagus gunnii Deciduous Beech tree that we saw in Tasmania. For something so common, I've had difficulty working out what it is.
Photographed in the Hartz Mountains National Park, along the Lake Osborne track.

Dehiscing fruits of Telopea truncata (Tasmanian waratah) revealing the winged seeds at the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre.
Narrandera. Native, warm-season annual or short-lived perennial, erect, hairless, tufted grass usually less than 50 cm tall and forming a dense low crown; sometimes short stolons are present. Stems are unbranched and flattened with a knee-like bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, usually with 6-9 branches 4-20 cm long. Mostly found along roadsides and in native pastures where groundcover and fertility are relatively low; rarely abundant. Readily colonises bare ground and areas subject to compaction or shallow soils. Native biodiversity. Of little significance for grazing, it has low to moderate quality and low productivity. Tolerant of set stocking and close grazing, it is better suited to sheep than cattle due to the low height of its foliage. Favoured by grazing systems that maintain low groundcover. It has little response to fertiliser inputs.
Schlumbergera Truncata (Thanksgiving Cactus, Crab Cactus)
I love when this plant blooms each year. I bring it inside while it is blooming, so that we can enjoy it more.
This blossom was a bit early, but welcome!
Dense symmetrical rosettes of wide blue-gray leaves are abundant, developing large clumps. Rosettes 2 - 4 feet wide forming clumps 5 feet or more across. Flower spikes 15 to 20 feet tall. USDA cold hardiness zone 6 - 9. Average minimum temperature -10 to 0 F. Full sun.
This variety has been hardy in PNW gardens for years. Good drainage is key in soil that has been heavily amended with rocks and pumice. Place the rosette (carefully) at an angle so that winter rains do not collect. Forming an upright rosette 2' tall and wide in time. Little supplemental water is needed.
