Yeh, where those plants were found was way remote, despite not being far out of Sydney in the grand scheme of things. Took some canyoners 4 days on foot, just stumbled across em and thought, these things arent real familiar. Get some pics and show a botanist mate. Then to go back they used helicopters.

If you go off the highways there is still some adventuring to be had. We (the family) went to do the Overland Track in Tasmania some years ago. It's a week long hike in the mountains, about 45 miles? Mid December (Summer, remember) we got blizzards and turned back half way. Got 1-2 feet of snow. In Summer. In Australia.

Really though, just going for a swim is an adventure with all those killer animals cruising around. Surfing is popular because you can make a quick escape, and you are out of the water. Thats why Aussies are good surfers. All the bad ones fell and got eaten. Its natural selection
