Took these photos yesterday and thought some of our overseas friends may like to see them. Just a few of the old red gums . Such a lot were cut down by the early settlers but there are pockets of them left around. Sadly a lot tend to die slowly as they are left standing in solitary splendor in paddocks where cattle etc can ruin them . Our long dry periods also affect them as they like a drink more often than they get in drought times. There are a lot around that are really gnarled and even bigger than these I took pictures of, but I could only get those along the road where I could see them.
Maybe not the biggest and prettiest trees but I love them and their individual personalities.
I am not sure of the correct botanical name but I know they are Eucalypts, maybe E. camaldulensis.
