Went to Cairns on the weekend with Richard Nunn and found a few Drosera.

Drosera prolifera was a population of no more than 300 plants in a croc infested river which is a very difficult walk. D. schizandra was the best I have ever seen it. D. adelae was a population of about 300 plants growing on the vertical face of a waterfall 6m up! 1200km in 3 days and a lot of walking!

Cheers
Greg

Nice photos - interesting to see those plants in their natural habitat where they can thrive with no care at all!
