Gympie Gympie - Australia's most painful plant

[Bally002]

Thanks for the tour, @"Bally002" .
I will pass this information to my daughter, who has been in Australia for the last year...
To your knowledge, would this stinging tree be found as far south as Queensland?
Thanks again.

Hi Minstrel,

Queensland is in the north of Australia and yes, most likely the plant is in the undergrowth of jungles there.  It's not common for people to get hurt as it's mostly found in areas that are generally heavily vegetated of the beaten track so to say.

There are a few spikey prickly seemingly harmless plants.  I have a few on my property but not the Gympie Gympie thank goodness.

I generally burn them out.

Cheers,

Bally:)
