That's a stunning image Julie. What a great sighting. Now I know what I'm looking for when trying to spot C. distans. Cheers.

Yes, clearly C.distans. No mistaking it for the "hairy" habitat forms of C. austrotenuifolia, or C. sieberi. Nice image. You can also find it near Ginninderra Falls, Mount Painter and (harder to find) Mt Stromlo. DN

Aaron, the key characteristics are the unfurling fronds with thick white hairs, and the triangular shaped pinnae, The photo is a perfect example.
