Tomato Blossom:  This, I discovered last March growing 3 and a half metres high. It had climbed up the side of the house, onto the balcony railing and was mixed in with my Hardenbergia. Unfortunately, my DH pulled it out about April, I was hoping to follow its progress to see how far through Autumn or Winter it would survive.

Hamelin Pool is one of only three places on Earth where you can see living marine stromatolites. (The other two places are in the Bahamas.) Stromatolites are found in Hamelin Pool because its water is twice as salty as normal seawater. Few predators and competitors can survive these conditions, allowing the microbes to flourish and form stromatolites much as they did billions of years ago.

Swan River Sprawling Slum: Not my idea of desirable living.
