Ah yes AL, Eucalyptus scoparia – Wallangarra whitegum. Very nice.

But Eucalyptus apocynifolia (Angophora costata to most people), known as smooth-barked apple, even though it is nothing like an apple tree, is just a most wonderful species, with its smooth salmony or grey, cream, yellow and orange patchy bark and contorted branches.

Dear Ludwig,

"The man from Menindie
Was counting sheep;
He counted so many
He went to sleep.

He counted by threes
And he counted by twos;
The rams and the lambs
And the wethers and ewes.

He counted a thousand,
A hundred and ten...
And when he woke up
He'd to count them again!"

Hasbeen no way I was having a go, my boat if time lets me,will be C J Morgan tinny type.
One of this country's richest men owns a racing yacht and is the nicest bloke you could ever know, I know him
I would not have the skills to live in one.
Happiness has nothing to do with income.
Its a joy to sit by my fire too, cold here too CJ minus 4 one day but plus 2 is about every third day.
Even then life is joy if you let it be.

Ohhhhhh LUDWIG :)... man ur scaring me... they grow THAT big ? ? ?

I don't need to worry too much I guess.. there are power lines nearby and the damn council just got a contracter to 'prune' them in a very uneven way ! grrrrrr... so I've got some lopsided scoparias and costata's now.. mope.

They regenerate pretty well though..

But the SCUMbag who dumped his KFC empties on the side of the road near them all.. did not win any popularity contests with me today that's for sure.

I've planted a whole lot of blackwood and Golden wattle along the nature strip... they grow FASSSSTTTT... yippee.. pretty soon they will hide the residence so ..no drive by's haha.

Morn’n Foxy

Thanks for that little poetic ditty.
