The scene is on Magnetic Is in northern Queensland, a not particularly largish island, but certainly formerly connected to the mainland. The sea in view is looking outward toward the Great Barrier Reef quite a few km in the distance. And quite correct about the Araucaria. Left the koala out of the picture as it was too big of a clue.The Phytophactorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064894836161407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565734316555677541.post-83017717692218108562014-02-04T12:04:11.239-06:002014-02-04T12:04:11.239-06:00Well re-read the text.

If these are Araucaria trees here and there, and the place is connected and Southern Hemiphere, then this might be Australia.<br /><br />At least I tried... :-)Laurenthttp://seedsaside.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565734316555677541.post-9119101893302405002014-02-04T12:00:59.568-06:002014-02-04T12:00:59.568-06:00The most troubling thing that should ease location...The most troubling thing that should ease location ID is the fact that the sea is not deep and stays so for quite a distance.<br /><br />Casuarina is no help in ID (grown too many places in the world). I suspect the other Coniferous sp that we see on the picture belong to an Araucaria sp. They seem growing in the wild.<br /><br />Rocks might help too, but I'm no geologist at all. Sand is not volcanic, suggesting something of a mainland or big island.<br /><br />Other flora suggest a dry area. That may thus be around Mexico gulf or something. Or the Greater Caribbean? Hard to say.Laurenthttp://seedsaside.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565734316555677541.post-10797543648874423392014-02-03T14:00:19.114-06:002014-02-03T14:00:19.114-06:00What an eye!
