Snow gum - Eucalyptus pauciflora! Strange because from October to January a profuse amount of lovely white flowers appear! It has beautiful twisted branches and only grows to about 30 metres tall. So it’s a small to medium spreading tree. It usually has a somewhat crooked trunk and many branches with distinctive beautiful smooth green, grey and cream bark.

Silken surface that seems only to appear during early morning or late afternoon sunlight. Angle of sun’s rays as they touch still waters - perhaps
