This is the fruit of the native Budawangs in my area, looks a bit like a pineapple, but contains a deadly neurotoxin. Beware!

Tall trees

Mountain Ash forest - Dandenong Ranges - Victoria.

Eucalyptus Grandis

This tree can grow to be the tallest tree in the state. (85m). It is in my front yard and it needs a haircut. Some limbs are widowmakers. Who are your going to call ... tree loppers.

Wine country

At Pokolbin, in the Hunter region north of Sydney.

Green foliage of the bush

Seed pods of an Australian native bush, any ideas of species?

Oldest trees in Sydney?

In the Botanic Garden is this tree, there is a sign beside it saying it is a direct decedent of trees that were here in 1816. Mmmmm. It is an Eucalyptus Tereticornis or a Forest Red Gum.

Big chipper

A massive tree going into the chipper.

Tree lopper up high

This big tree needed taking down before our power could be restored, they worked into the night. Dangerous work, thankyou.

Norfolk Island Pines in Sydney

These trees are native to an island 1600km from Sydney. In 1788 they were planted in the hope of the timber being used for masts. Sadly not suitable. But they were planted all over Sydney anyway. Popular on the beaches. And I took this yesterday as there were two boys at the top, but you cannot see them in this photo,

Christmas tree in Hyde Park

Getting closer!

Ugliest street in Sydney

I was visiting Melissa St Auburn last week and found that there is a problem with illegal dumping. I challenge you to find an uglier street.
