Prickly Tea-tree (Leptospermum continentale) 10/10/15
Burgan (Kunzea ericoides) 26/11/16. 12/17 - the whole of the easement is covered in flowers - I wonder whether they only flower every 3-4 years as this is the first time we have seen all the tea trees flower at once! It looks like snow :)

When mum came to visit the other day we noticed this bush that looked like a big rosemary bush - but with what we thought looked like little cauliflowers at the end of each branch. Turns out that it is Shiny Cassinia (Cassinia longifolia) - otherwise known as Cauliflower Bush!
|
|
Lacebark - Brachychiton discolor. Not native to Gippsland - usually up in NSW/QLD. King parrots love it! 14/2/16

Eucalyptus cephalocarpa - Mealy Stringybark?
3/10/15 & 4/10/16 Found this at the top of the easement - maybe Swamp paper-bark (Melaleuca ericifolia)?
|
|
Wattles
Silver Wattle (Acacia dealbata) - this is the first one to flower at our place - in July. There is only one tree that I've seen at our whole place and it is near the house, making me think it has been planted and isn't local?
|
|
Up next is Sallow Wattle - it flowers late July/August and there is a lot of it around.
|
|
Prickly Moses (Acacia verticillata) starts flowering in August, although this photo was taken on 10/10/15
|
|
This one is Blackwood Wattle (Acacia melanoxylon) which is supposed be a great fire retardant. It starts flowering in August.
|
|
Wattle
|
|
Spreading wattle? (Acacia genistifolia)
|
|
Cinnamon Wattle?
|
|
We sometimes see foam coming out of trees - this was a wattle tree that had lost a branch. Apparently this happens when it rains a lot. The tree exudes compounds called saponins - natural wetting agents that enable water to penetrate the soil?
Um...... Something is blocking the driveway! 15/3/16
