Tony; because of you, not only have I been successfully guerrilla planting for years. Today I got my Fortune 500 company to convert our flower beds into local flora to sustain bee and butterfly habitats on the property.
I think I've seen more footage of Tasmania in this view series than I have in 40 years of watching documentaries. No one takes time for Tasmanian anything other than Thylocines. Thank you very much for all that you do to make and share this information.
I REALLY need a shirt with one of your drawings of a spider inside of a flower with the phrase "There's a guy in there!". Don't think you said it in this vid, but you've said it in others and it always cracks me up.
There's nothing better than Gondwanan conifers! I'll be heading to New Caledonia in a year and can't wait to check out all the bizarre paths evolution took on various gymnosperms, and all the relict species that eke out a living. Some day I'll have to check Tasmania off the list too.
Get out there in December - the scoparia flowers in a spectrum of colour, from white and cream through to orange, pink and magenta. A true glory. You'll just have to come back someday, it'll be worth it. Edit: There's a grove of Arthotaxis in the Walls of Jerusalem NP, at a place called Dixon's kingdom. The specimens there have eluded the many fires that ravaged Tasmania since 'invasion' and they are huge, likely as big as your Chilean cousin. I'd share photos if I could. Great entertainment, I'm learning stuff.
Ive been loving the drone footage in the last few months, it really adds something. When we were over there a few weeks back, I managed to land my brand new air2s in the river where it sat on the bottom for probably 10 minutes. Opened it up and dried it out with a hair drier where we were staying and fuck me, it still flies perfect. Testament to the cleanliness of the water there perhaps?
Tiger snek's are pretty cold tolerant, to an extent they warm up ok in the sun alone. One thing I was thinking because I know you like the rawks is that Tasmania has something quite unique that the mainland doesn't, is glacial lakes. They're not very big but from memory there's only about 3 of them within the entire Australian territory and they're all down there, Lake Westwood, Dove Lake and there's another one I can't remember the name of.
Yooooo! You came to Aus?! Hell yeah. Recently explored a lot the Victorian/NSW alpine region. The flora is truly stunning. Great vid! Hope to see you back in our neck of the woods again!
Thank You very Much for being such a Foul Mouthed Plant Man!! Awesome Video!! ~ Thank You so Much, for your Kindness,~Teaching people about Botany and Geology!! Damn, YES!! Antarctica reJ,urassic, and More!! Andréa and Critters. ...XxX...
Little side note: There is also a record label called Gondwana Records, which has a sublime catalogue of musicians. And of course cheers Tony for all the great videos and philosophical rants :D
Excellent. Another great and unique insight into parts of my own Country that I'm not lucky enough to be able to access. Thank you CPBBD. PS. Would love to see you visit some NSW temperate rainforest, if you can find any left.
on the Hakea seed note, they don't really need fire to open as most people say, direct sunlight on warm days can be enough to cause them to open and if the fruit dries out if/when the plant dies or the limb comes off the tree for any reason, the dead plant/limb dries out, fruit opens and drops seed. It's a kinda weird survival mechanism that some Australian plants (Hakea, Banksia and some Leptospermum sp. for eg.) hold onto their seed until the event of damage or death. be it fire, storm or other causes. On the snake deaths, yearly average of snake bites and deaths, about 3000 bites a year occur, on average 2-3 people die a year, 2018 has the highest death toll of 9 people. Also like 90% of snake bites happen when people are trying to kill/capture/man handle snakes, so the best rule is don't fuck with them, and they wont fuck with you.
I waited for the stupid bowl to start to go to my room and watch this video thanks Tony. I will watch some older videos and a couple of other videos and I will be better off
I enjoy you immensely, u make an ugly plant sound great. Haha thanks for the giggles, I listened on 1.75 speed. Dying so funny. Your awesome.God bless.
There are SO many coprosmas. When I studied botany here in New Zealand and we did vegetation surveys we could guess half of the understory plants were Coprosma sp. and be right. Coprosma foetidissima is distinctive when leaves are crushed.
I have too many comments about segments in this video and I cbf taking notes to combine them all into one comment so ima just say this: Another great video swearing plant man, I thoroughly enjoyed it and a bonus that it's my neck of the woods, kinda. Also, damn those paht hating geriatrics. Sooner they drop off, the sooner I can get high legally and kill my lawn.
Magnificent as ever ! Damn I'd love to be up there with you !! Great to see all those hakea species and Tasmannia lanceolata of which I grow here , in their native habitat. I'll have to plant some together now ! Wish I could find spores of Gleichenia alpina to grow here too !!
That is "not" redwood music , they dont respond to that hard 4 beat , your video was good , but i dont think many redwoods will watch after the first 30sec
We have a few endemic species of _Dracophyllum_ in Oz, too. One of them, _D. sayeri,_ actually survives in the North Queensland tropics... but only at high altitude.
You are not wrong about Pines being invasive. Near where i live old growth Eucalyptus forests were cleared to put in pine plantations (yuck) and now pines are popping up in big numbers kilometers away in uncleared forest.PS did you notice Wombat poo is cubed?
Mr. Snake was sunning himself waiting for you. The birds told him u were in town. He wanted to give u a money shot. I heard him GFY as he took off. Kinda eerie there.
Yep, _Tasmannia lanceolata_ can get quite a bigger than that... over thirty feet tall in the right conditions. A pity you didn't get to see _Bellendena montana_ at its' best, the flowers are nice enough, but in early Autumn/Fall they're followed by bright red papery follicles full of seeds. Edit/PS: The thing that drives me crazy about Tasmania's thylacine bounty in the 19th and early 20th centuries is there is basically _no evidence they were harming sheep at all._ In the end, all the thylacines were killed by a bunch of ninnies who were scairt of the unfamiliar wild things in the Australian wilderness. They destroyed so much (plants and animals) just because it didn't look British enough. _Ugh._ Talk about the "human tumor".
Australia really nailed it with how common names fuck you up... yes, I agree! Growing up as an Aussie I learned early on that what we know as something might be completely different to something elsewhere in the world - maybe this is how I got into Biology?
The poor thylacines got blamed for killing sheep, but their jaws probably weren’t strong enough to kill adult sheep, meaning they got blamed for sheep killed by dogs, dingos, and humans.
That landscape does burn when it is very dry and the evidence is the bare white skeletons of the eucalypts at the start of the video. The cypresses don't usually burn because they are close to the water. Love mount field NP and Tarn Shelf.

Netflix and chill? Nah. CPBBD and vibe 😎
Foul Mouth Plant Man, Thank You
I call him the Cussin botanist.
@@StanTheObserver-lo8rx nice 👍
Sensitive listeners? I think that ship sailed long ago. I'm glad you saw the snake before he saw you! Those plants are amazing. I want one of each!
Currently watching this instead of the superbowl. 100% the correct decision.
So much better than the superbowl- Tonys time machine real gnice
My favorite pottymouth plant pundit in one of the most amazing isolate biomes on the planet. Amazing.

Guy at the liquor store said "getting you some drink for the game?" I chuckled and said sports? No, CPBBD just dropped a video
Fucking golden! 🤣🤘
Funny, had the same conversation with my dealer.
Haha that’s great!!! Fuvk ball sports man I’d much rather watch Joey and learn about plants!! 🍻

I grow Halocarpus bidwillii in a bog garden here. It has white arils I'm told. I hope I have the female form !
What a nice time I had with this! Thanks for the hike/botany lesson/snake scare/trip down memory lane. Gondwana forever!
Another banger, Tone.... Thank you for our education.
Mount Field is epic, I felt like I was in a time machine exploring there! Thanks for your video as always
I really love the intro. Keep doing that.
Lol love your screen name
@@Entrophonics thanks
Made my evening, some bangers as always. Thanks for taking us along, my kind of narrator!
Pleasant intro, Tony!
You paint a beautiful picture with your emotional descriptions.
I love your drone intro & 🎶

This was filmed in December my man
@@kida3168 Ah, maybe a delay after our wet, cool spring then. Cheers.
There was scoparia in other videos

Baby joey 🦘 with another hit 🎯
Keep it up daddy!
Love the funky music. said the old guy eating pot.

Thank you for all your amazing adventures
Always a pleasure to watch your videos - even the ones on places I have no interest in going to.
Good work Tony
I'd rather watch an episode of CPBBD over sportzball any day
Hell yeah dude. Fuckin boggles my mind the priorities in this country.
Same definitely this will be much better media than that stupid shit this is way more interesting!
Every fucking day
All sport is a hate crime
That’s not even a close fight.
Beautiful stuff. And that intro music has a helluva groove.
Dr. Suess musta garnered inspiration from there.
Nice, Tony. Thanks, again
Another great episode of "Tone's Time Machine'
Oh wow I haven't watched for a while, you got a drone?? Sick af
Thank You very Much for being such a Foul Mouthed Plant Man!!
Awesome Video!!
~ Thank You so Much, for your Kindness,~Teaching people about Botany and Geology!!
Damn, YES!! Antarctica reJ,urassic, and More!!
Andréa and Critters. ...XxX...
Thank you tony I need that answer ❤ and your knowledge I am so grateful
Another awesome video
You do get the chance to go to the most unique places I think
Because these places have such rarity of plants
Amazing botany from down under
Little side note: There is also a record label called Gondwana Records, which has a sublime catalogue of musicians. And of course cheers Tony for all the great videos and philosophical rants :D
Love this series but nothing will beat New Caledonia, those videos were soo friggin cool :)
Love the intro. Who is the artist?
Excellent. Another great and unique insight into parts of my own Country that I'm not lucky enough to be able to access. Thank you CPBBD. PS. Would love to see you visit some NSW temperate rainforest, if you can find any left.
Greetings once again from Durban South Africa

Habit looks remarkably similar to eastern red cedars we have all over Minnesota. Juniper trees are so fascinating!!
In fine form Tony
The opercula definitely seem like frost protection. It doesn’t take much to shield the delicate parts of the flower.
Hey bahd.. I am curious as to what your process is when botanizing a new site? Do you make a short list before heading out?
Finally, a Tiger Snake! Grew up in Tassie and still habitually scan three metres in front of me.
You ever read a book called The Greening of Gondwana? Highly recommend it! Wildlife of Gondwana is also quite good.
Amazing that someone took the time to name all these plants. Apart from that, what environmental factors make a plant split it's leaves?

Hey, hey now. I turn 65 this year & still blaze daily. Have also never had a lawn. We exist!

So where to next? Any plans set for the future, or just kick back and lay low for a while stateside?
tripping out, hearing what sounds like Chuck-wills-widow bird sounds (nocturnal summer bird here in Central TX)
I was hoping tone would whistle back to it a little;)
Pines are in fact native to the Southern Hemisphere! Just barely. Pinus merkusii, Sumatran pine, is found as far south as 2˚S.
That is "not" redwood music , they dont respond to that hard 4 beat , your video was good , but i dont think many redwoods will watch after the first 30sec
🤣
Tone, I would happily help you found the Society For Getting Geriatrics to Eat Pot. Truly a good cause.
I wanna be test case one
I’m good. Just a semi cool geriatric myself, high on life and a plant lover.
I just heard the wallabies made a touch goal. In case anyone is wondering about the big game.
Ayy my favorite plant guy
Hey there, come to New Zealand my friend, loving all these vids too, but love to hear your opinion.
As soon as the SB is over I'm- a watchin this...
Fuck the Super Bowl this is being watched now!
I'll bet Gary Larson has done a Thylacine eating a taco..
Drone footage is pretty cool
When are you coming to El Yunque, in PUERTO RICO!? BRO!
I remember collecting some “magic mushrooms” on cow manure near that rainforst once, it was my first trip to PR! Good times.
I believe the Aussies call that sort of shirt a "singlet".
In New Yawk it’s a “guinea tee.”
Richia scoparia looks a lot like Drcophyllym menzeisii over here in NZ. Any way just feeding the alogarithm.
We have a few endemic species of _Dracophyllum_ in Oz, too. One of them, _D. sayeri,_ actually survives in the North Queensland tropics... but only at high altitude.
the music is real good, what is the artist? also your knowledge base is next level . thanks
lmao the flashing "Society for Getting Geriatrics on Paht". I'd like to join the SGGP, please.
Right of passage indeed!
Wow. Who needs alien planets when you have Gondwanan vegetation? Thanks for showing us them up close and personal.
Love that Italian American accent (I am half Italian, my mother's maiden name is Franzese).
22:24 🎶cuz I'm freeeeee, free ballin🎶
A little green rosetta! (Makes a muffin betta!) 🔥
That's a weird looking Gleichenia :o and they're dominating too just like in some parts of Hispaniola
You are not wrong about Pines being invasive. Near where i live old growth Eucalyptus forests were cleared to put in pine plantations (yuck) and now pines are popping up in big numbers kilometers away in uncleared forest.PS did you notice Wombat poo is cubed?
*Geometric turds*
Large yuccas and some fan palms also form a dead leaf skirt around their main trunks to insulate from the cold and strong winds
Mr. Snake was sunning himself waiting for you. The birds told him u were in town. He wanted to give u a money shot. I heard him GFY as he took off. Kinda eerie there.
Hookers were named after some white guy too. They used to be called Hooker's Girls round the civil war.
*Aka; who-waahs
Diselma is sister to Fitzroya and they're not even that basal... an amazing distribution!
Ps great music beats

Yeah, there was a whole lot of that. 😅 What were they thinkin'!
It’s just doinn it’s thang
“Aaaayyyy! Blowin’ j!ss in my face!”
❤️
Ericaceae- Richea😲....Proteacea😲....Eucalipto😲...Snake....in the cold uau...i never thought of that
getting close enough to bite one takes work though... you gotta be way more sneaky than Tony is.
Bite a snake, no...just see the snake is pretty good for me
Possible fossil @39:31 ? But probably lingering thoughts of something else I watched.
What level of education do you have to get to to speak fluent "botanist?" I love it. Thank you for using your big person words.
...and where's the T-Shirt. "Look at those Bracts!"
“Nasty, filthy stamens… let it all hang out, now your free-ballin’”
😂💀
You think you could grow any of those Athrotaxis species in the US? I’m thinking a place like New England, or maybe up in Minnesota.
Probably way too cold in our continental climates up here. 😔 I doubt it gets 40 below in Tasmania.
Reminds me of California Juniper male cones.
Australia really nailed it with how common names fuck you up... yes, I agree! Growing up as an Aussie I learned early on that what we know as something might be completely different to something elsewhere in the world - maybe this is how I got into Biology?
What an amazing fuckin view. Thx.
This is just an educated guess but i figure that the operculum evolved in order to prevent strong winds from blowing all the pollen away
