Been visiting this ancient snow gum for the last 30 years or so, although it has been some 3- 4 years since my last sighting. Couldn't bear to witness the devastating destruction of trees in this alpine area, as result of severe bush fires just after my last visit.
Well, you could have struck me down with a feather, folks, most surrounding trees were reduced to white skeletons. But as you can see by yesterday's pic, there's a little bit of paradise intact. It's truly of enormous proportions (compared to average trees of this type). The rest will take 30 - 40 years to regain some their former glory.
Sincere regards, Jim R
