This Nikau has been like this for 3 years now and doesn't seem to grow out of it, any advise on improving the health of this palm would be much appreciated! I gave it some seaweed fertilizer a couple of times but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thank you

I won't be able to post photos for a while, but the trails near Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki would be impressive without palms. Giant trees, two limestone gorges with cliffs, tree ferns. And Nikau everywhere. For a North American person like me, it's amazing. In terms of palminess, I should perhaps have gone to New Caledonia instead, or signed on for the Biennial, but it's been a great day in a terrestrial paradise, complete with excellent trails.
IT was close to freezing this morning,some sun and comfortable in the afternoon.
On the side, Christchurch Botanic Gardens' growing palm collection is looking good, though I suspect their Sabal palmetto would like more summer heat. I'll have photos from there,too.

Hi,
Don't know if this is the right place for this topic, but did not know were to place it else.
Always wanted to visit Australia for a longer period, and now the moment is here. In a few weeks I will flying to Australia for traveling at least 5 or 6 months and I am really looking forward to this. I don't really have a timeplan but I decided to concentrate mostly on the eastcoast like lots of people do when visiting Australia. Most of the people start in Sydney, but I decided to do it the other way around to skip a little of the australian winter. I'll start my visit in the North and fly to Cairns and going south afterwards. Like I said earlier, I don't really have a time schedule but I would like to be in Sydney somewhere in September. This is because I would like to visit the defqon festival, my birthday and it is very likely that a friend is coming over as well and sydney is the easiest way to fly. If I have time left en specially money left I am thinking to give New Zealand a short visit as well, but don't know yet. Proberly going to work somewhere for a month, for money but also the experience. Working in agriculture (like fruitpicking) is most likely but it would be even better to find a place where I can work with more unsual palms then I do here at home.
Enough talk, as I started this topic to ask something to our Australian members. What kind of places/hotspots I should really visit? Of course I would like to visit more famous places like the barrier reef, national parcs, cities like Sydney and Melbourne, but I mean the more unknown places for a tourist. Are there some nurseries that really worth a visit?
Looking forward to some of your answers.
Kind regards,
Robbin
