Hi Matthew, I'll take your word for the fig - colour looks right at least. It's a fairly young one by the look of it, and not perched on top of a boulder, so unless it is in a tree stump it has done well to get going at all. I think the swampies find them pretty palatable as seedlings.

Thanks Jackie. The one photo was a bit distant so I have zoomed in and cropped a detail showing foliage in more detail in the second image as above.

Thanks, that's more definite. And a propos my comment about its palatability, I see it has a browse line. Wallabies, or is there something else up there that might be eating the foliage?
