And some lovely specimens from the banks of the Glenelg River in Casterton.

This is not a tree I'd like to brush past while wearing my expensive rain gear:

Crazy gum near the Colo. Like a lava flow down over the rocks. Had lost its central leader but still going strong!

Note the new growth at the top.
This old fella has survived floods, storms, wind, lightning and who knows what else. On the banks of the 'bidgee.

Keep em comin.

Spotted some cool Apple Gums around Berowra/Creek but unable to photograph. I like how the bend and melt and keep growing over rocks!

This tree is suspended in fresh air above the path that runs between Echo Point and the Three Sisters.

Recently saw a tree growing on the trunk of a tree fern - Liffey Falls

This sort of thing is quite common in rainforest. Seed settles on a piece of falling timber that is decaying, it sprouts and grows as the wood rots away; hence you get the "stiltwalker" effect with the trunk starting well above ground level.

Yes. Curious thing here was that the tree fern was very much alive.
But I can imagine the trunk of the fern provided a lovely moist friable setting for roots - a living mulch.

Which way is up?

by **ribuck** » Mon 28 Sep, 2020 4:58 pm

That reminds me of this one, on the track between Wog Wog and Corang Peak

This is not my photo. From memory it was taken by a mate on a Mt. Stirling walk.

Another fence tree. This Angophora still has some barbed wire coming out of the bottom left branch.

I like the way the tree roots have bent at 90 degrees to follow the cracks of the rock. Reedy Creek, Watarrka / Kings Canyon, NT

Another fence tree from my local area.

If you look carefully, there's something rather disturbing near the base of this tree:

Can you spot it?

Yes, I recoiled in horror :shock:

Should I ask how you got in there?

by **OWilson87** » Tue 26 Jan, 2021 11:56 pm

Wow, such cool pictures! I really enjoyed watching. We were just sitting with my wife and daughter looking and I wanted to go somewhere and see it live

It was an odd tree... quite healthy, but in general sitting on its roots, which were above the ground (presumably the ground had worn away or sunk a bit over some time. So on the other side of the tree, it looks like its sitting right out of the ground. So easy to get in underneath and impersonate a tree troll.

It actually reminded me of a picture in a kids story book that my late mother used to read to me more than 60 years ago

.
Wish I could remember which one though.
