Winter 2025, South West WA (#13 in series: little, living)

 

Warren National Park’s Karri-dominated forest is – by Australian standards – a moist, cool environment, albeit definitely not rainforest.

Most visitors mostly look up; for many tourists, the Warren’s big trees are the tallest living things they have ever seen.

It is also a good idea to look down, to pay attention to non-huge things, and to remember that “dead” wood is never lifeless.

The next chapter is also set in Warren National Park on 18.08.2025, but its focus is on  things much bigger than mosses, lichens and little fungal fruiting bodies.
