Wall fern forest. An unprecedented third consecutive La Niña weather phenomenon is predicted for the East Coast of Australia between 25° and 35° south this spring/summer. Flooding events are already happening in the bush, after last summer's devastation that resulted in 30+ deaths and a whole town of 35,000 folks being washed away and destroyed. The Sydney basin was not spared, especially at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The Inner West was largely unscathed, but the constant rain made this old part of the city smell like mould and there was a proliferation of wall ferns everywhere that are still going strong. Climate change is right here, right now. Make no mistake. Petersham.
