    Default A grand old gum

    I ride past this gum 5 days a week as a postie in the Adelaide Hills, I am in awe of it’s stature and endurance as the road parts either side of it. I’m sure it would have a story or two to tell if it could.

    Now that is what I would call a 'Knarly' looking tree. Hope it survives for many more years.

    Yes Cal, yes that's an absolutely beautiful eucalypt.
    You and other eucalypt lovers might enjoy this website which is having a eucalypt competition at the momentI believe

    Here is a link.... Home - Eucalypt Australia

    My own wood society (IWCS) is asking state members to NOMINATE a STATE TREE (ie as a State Tree Emblem) ... because of beauty, heritage, utility, age size etc. We hope to have a result for the Canberra IWCS meeeting in October 2019

    Imagine all the life that tree is supporting, and the generations in the past.
