Happy Australia Day 2010!
Here in Australian we all have a home amongst the Gum Trees (Eucalyptus), and the 26th of January is a great day on which to pause and reflect upon the diverse creatures - both animal and man that make their home amongst this iconic tree. The bark of this tree can be cream, grey, white, copper or a green colour - or a delightful shiny and mottled mix of all of these colours.
The shiny green leaves hang downwards towards the earth, and the flowers burst out of nuts, with the caps decorating the ground below. Many of our native animals depend on the Eucalyputus tree for food and protection.
Happy Australia Day!
