Drove down to Dwellingup yesterday, and took a train ride out into the forest.  Then we hiked for a while and saw this mass of caterpillars, all clustered together on a tree.  Gross. 

We were surprised to see so many grasstrees, this was by far the thickest area for them that we've ever seen.
The docent said they are very slow growing, and only grow about one foot every 10 years.
