It's a rainforest - the plants are impressive!
Mangroves

| Mangroves along the beach at the Kulki boardwalk. |
 |
| Mangroves reproduce by developing seedlings while still on the tree. When they drop off and fall into water, they can travel quite a distance before they find a place to secure roots. |

Strangler Figs
 |

 |
| A different strangler fig embracing a tree. |
 |
| Yet another strangler fig working its way around a tree. |
