eucalypt, pulpit rock, mount victoria

These white-trunked eucalypts are an unusual and beautiful sight in our bushland, much prized overseas. This particular one is only relatively young, but has grown strongly without any other tree infringing on it's growth. The result has been a freedom of form and symmetry that is a little unusual, and being young has a clear unblemished bark that is luminescent in the light.

As the breeze came up from the valley floor, the tree's limbs swayed in a graceful port de bras, a dance for no-one but itself.
