Just found this topic while searching for Alpina boots - eggs favorite plant is Gleichenia alpina - which I agree is a beautiful fern. All the coral ferns and fan ferns (Sticherus Sp.) are among my favorites.
My favorite Tassie plant though is the pandani (Richea pandanifolia). I have a couple growing at home in pots. Extremely slow though. Some of my other favorites are the king billy pine, huon pine and strangely enough scoparia

Sometimes, I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

The scent of Huon pine is just magnificent.
When we put a pot of hot water on our rough cut, unfinished Huon pine pot stand, you can smell the timber.

I still think there's a fortune to be made developing a hybrid R. scoparia that will grow in gardens. Best. Hedge. Ever.

We get man fern/soft tree fern here in Victoria as well but IMO the Tassie ferns are more spectacular. I have seen some massive trunks (thick and tall) and lots of multi headed trunks (up to 25 heads). Lots of unusual shaped trunks as well.
I have read that each man fern can produce up to 800 million spore (fern 'seed') per year and if every spore was to grow there would be enough tree ferns to cover 900 planets the size of earth
