This was one of thousands, located on the western end of the Merricumbene Fire Trail, some of them clearly tall and old - this one was 2 m at least. Don't know if you want to make this comment private, in order to protect them. These grass trees seemed to disappear at lower levels and appear when the road wound back through the tops. Good to know they are hard to ID to species level - I couldn't see any distinguishing features when I looked up close.
Yeah, with good range in ages (from tiny babies through to clearly ancient specimens). I suspect the road would get maybe 50 vehicles per year - we saw two groups of 5 each and this is, from experience, I think one of the busiest weekends in the year up there. Technical and challenging driving that would be almost impassable in the wrong conditions. Spectacular for the nature lover.
