August 30: Dew drops on the cabbage
A pretty morning dew descended upon the Macquarie Island Cabbage Stilbocarpa polaris behind the Bauer Bay Hut. It is said recorded that early occupants of the island used to eat the cabbage to provide a source of vitamin C to ward off scurvy. It has very hairy leaves, but its stalks are not unlike a hairy celery stick. It has not appeared on the menu this year!
