Trees

I've always had a love affair with trees.  As a child, I loved to climb the huge oak (well it seemed huge) bordering our neighbour's place.  My sister and I would sometimes go too high and I (being the youngest) occasionally required help getting down again.

On a recent trip to Poona, on the Fraser Coast of Queensland, my friend and I encountered some of the most interesting trees I've ever seen.  They were in Maryborough, which was once prosperous, and I hope it dusts itself off again soon.  I'd like to share some of those beautiful trees with you (whoever you are)...




This tree is in a wonderful bird sanctuary and wetlands park just outside of the city centre of Maryborough.  I blend right in, don't I?











 This one (below) is in Queen's Park, and has a very interesting bark pattern.




You can just see my friend (above), who is over 6'3", hidden in its depths - this beauty is in Queen's Park also.










Another enormous and ancient tree in the beautiful Queen's Park of Maryborough (left).

My friend went right inside this strangler fig and filmed its labyrinthine interior.



I hope you enjoyed these wonderful trees - if you ever get to visit them for yourself, please say hello from me!
