_Capparis lucida_ .
Wonderful healthy mature naturally small trees, foliage and fruiting well this season .
Plenty of black ripe fruiting and unripe green fruiting .
Just slightly upslope, less salty, less salty–wet, from the mangroves;
Estuary just inland of the Salt-water Creek mouth, the confluence with the beach .
Nuwu [Newell beach] boat launch dirt track end .
Beware of many and large salt water crocodiles especially in this location – stay safe no matter what!
