Montville in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland --- Had to take a picture of these pink proteas that cost an arm and a leg in Canada but you can buy by the bunch in Montville. Montville has antique, candy and fudge, and holistic as well as "arty" stores. The middle picture is surprisingly what you can see off the back balcony of one of the stores. The valley and tropical vastness is all around the thin veneer of civilization that is the town on both sides of the road. The image of a tropical rain forest is taken at the Kondalilla National Park where there is reputedly a Komodo dragon [the world's largest lizard]. Usually its found only on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rintja, Padar, and Flores. As there are only an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 of these lizards [at 3 m in length and weighing up to 126 kg ...bigger than me and ...they can run fast too and climb!..look at the picture from Wikipedia] I was highly skeptical but I was certainly on the lookout.
