These kinds of things are right up my "alley". lol Love historical stuff!! Thanks for the pictures!!
Nice photo of the old gum tree. Very unique. Now I remembered I used to sing this song when I was young. "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree". I visited this gumnut factory in Perth, and I love it cause everything is make of gumnut. Your photos bring back nice memories of my visit to Australia. Thanks. :)
Beautiful tree. Do you protect old trees there? Here we do but from developers wanting to build things. Australia is a big country with less people so I don't know if this applies.
Clarice - we do protect trees classed as 'significant; any large tree with a circumference greater than two metres. If you want to cut one down you need an arborist's report.
There is a bill before parliament now addressing the issue once again.
That's big :-) Thanks
Interesting article. Thanks for the information and history.
Nice photo!

When I was a young girl and the temperature was given on the radio it was always said it was taken "Under The Old Gum Tree".
That was about 50 years ago.
