Harvey, there are several species here in the family Parmeliaceae. Images two to four show one or more species of Usnea. In the center of the main image is a species of one of the genera in the Parmelioid group (e.g. Parmelia, Flavoparmelia, Xanthoparmelia etc), I can't take it any further. Above and below this is another Usnea. You might be best cropping some of the Usnea out of the main image and placing the other images in a separate sighting.

Thanks for that Ken. I'll keep just the third and fourth image of the original submission here, and post what was the first and second separately with additional images of each.
