Swamp Paperbark Trees, Australia

Paperbark trees are so quintessentially Australian, with their peeling trunks.

There’s a swampy area I walk past most days.

This week I actually stopped to photograph it 🙂

Such beautiful trees. Our indigenous people used the bark for so many purposes.

  They used our entire natural surrounds to such effect ~
  I feel pathetic by comparison relying on a ‘shop’ for my needs.

Gorgeous photo. I love paperbarks but It takes all my effort to peel them! I love the feel of the bark and the sensation of stripping the bark. Very naughty I know 🙂

  I’m thrilled that you’ve stopped to take the time to feel the sensation of paperbark running through your fingers.
  I wonder how many people have done that? 😉
