Tasmanian Trees

Unusual home for a Tree

 
Recently, while in Launceston in the northern part of Tasmania, I was walking down the street and I happened to notice this tree in the building. I was once told that a tree just needs a place to dig its roots into and with Carbon Dioxide and water it can live quite happily. Not sure what the roots are doing to the building.

Contrasts of flora at Cradle Mountain

I was walking the Dove Lake circuit, in the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park when I saw this contrast of trees. One tree’s life is complete while the other, the iconic fagus tree is about to change colour for this year’s beautiful spectacle. This is our only deciduous native plant.

Death at devils@cradle, Cradle Mountain???

This magnificent ancient eucalyptus tree at devils@cradle has come to the end of its natural life. Even though it is dead it makes a stunning sight with a blue sky and the other younger trees growing up around it. Life continues.
