:?:?A question for all you Melbourne based fourmites
Along the bay front around St Kilda and point Ormond there grows what I think is a tea tree It grows on the dunes beteewn the road and the water and looks lilke a twisted group of stems that have grown togeather and bend and twist all over the place it seems to be quite tall in places and the trunks can be around 200 thick some of the ones that are growing are bent at over 90 and then bend back on themselfs
The reason for asking is that I brought back a dry bit that will make a rather nice candle holder and found the the colour and grain under the dull grey weathed exterior is rather nice and will make a few very interesting pens I would love to find out the common name and the botanical name of this tree
Thanks
