The biggest tree in our garden is this copper beech, although it isn't really quite as big as it looks in the photo. At this time of the year, its canopy is just coming into leaf, and the young leaves are this wonderful red-green colour. They are an especially impressive sight when the sun is shining through them.
I came across this burnt-out scar tree at Arakoon. You can see the top where the old people have cut into the bark on two occasions and how much the bark was healing before it was burnt. Very significant site for peoples in this region #thicktrunktuesday#Australia
