One such climbing plant is Apple Berry Dumpling (Billardiera scandens). Not uncommon, but not easily identified as it twines its way around its supporting plant which grows in the understorey. Its branches have been recorded at almost 3 metres in length.
Because this plant is able to grow in almost any environment and soil type in the local bushland, its habitat is quite extensive.
The Love Creeper favours moist open forest but can survive in protected locations in heathland. Flowering period is from July to December.
It is a much more vigorous plant which will climb its way over its supporting host to the point that it may weigh that plant down.
Also there is the vigorous climber Hardenbergia violacacea (Purple twining pea), that was the subject of the December 2019 edition of this column. It can be found in flower from late July to early October.
