What a lovely spidery thing Fred. It looks as if it might be scented?

Hi Fred,
how tall does this crinum grow?
We saw a similar looking one while in Townsville (North Queensland) last month.
But I'm not sure if this was one of the Australian species or the Mauritian.
cheers

Fermi,

Could yours be Crinum pedunculatum?  Looks like it to me.  No idea whether it naturally occurs that far up, but I know it stretches all the way up the coast of NSW from south of us to the border at the very least.
