    The TREE amongst our society

    by Bobby, over 5 years ago

    Kingsgrove Road desperately needs more trees and this is our favourite as it reminds us that in amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday living and the commercial world we are continually evolving into ... this one tree which is a beautiful Magnolia Tree continues to grow and flower and bring natural beauty to this strip of bus road..... It reminds us of the beauty of nature and the NEED FOR COU NCIL TO PLANT MORE TREES ON OUR MAIN STREETS.

    The Stand of Morton Bay Figs along Penshurst Street

    by K8, over 5 years ago

    I walk daily along Penshurst Street and daily I appreciate the mature age, beauty, shade, wildlife and the general softening of the street due to these majestic trees. They add character, interest, green beauty and value to our neighbourhood as they arch over the hot black depressing asphalt and traffic.

    Our suburb is enhanced by their existence. Please endeavour to accommodate them rather than surreptitiously one by one over the years cut them down.

    Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

    Shade for generations

    by Active Resident, over 5 years ago

    The fig tree at the former Sans Souci baths is magnificent. It provides shade till close to midday in summer on the sand of the former Sans Souci baths. This provides a place for young kids to dig in the sand and splash in the water without having to drive to Cronulla.

    Black cockatoos range

    How i love the banksia they feed on

    And the lemon scented gum under the weight of lorrikeets

    The blue gum with the scratch paths of ringtails

    Angophora's curves and twists and glider sap feed marks

    Bottlebrush and the honey eaters, the bumble bees, hoverflies

    Paperbarks' swelling trunks and tangled roots and the perfume of cream flowers hanging

    Profound moreton bay figs with giant limbs draped by flying foxes

    Brother and sister trees

    Macadamias' fringe of flowers the richest perfume and nuts to feed us

    Mother and father trees

    Holding the land protecting the understory creating worlds... Continue reading

    The Blood of My Suburb

    by ggreenbear, about 6 years ago

    The blood of My suburb runs thick like honey down the trunk of the tree.The sticky substance oozes, connecting the people with passion that creates a community. And although it bleeds, it stands tall, for all to see and be inspired. 

    My suburb is Carss Bush Park... 

    but only while the bush still bleeds.

    Casuarinas in Beverley Park

    by Clarell, about 6 years ago

    These native trees are also native to some of our Asian countries.  They are part of the She Oaks family.  They are also known as the Whistling Pine because of the noise made as wind moves through the trees.  It has been introduced into some areas in the Caribbean as well.  Some people don't like the beds of needles that have dropped from the trees but they are quite beautiful and are also home to the Black Cockatoo

    Afternoon reflections

    by Trent, about 6 years ago

    I love the way the sunset reflects on this tree. Its twists and curves are interesting. Found on the bush track exiting H.V Evatt Park Lugarno with the beautiful Georges River as it backdrop.

    All trees are valuable and should be preserved, including on footpaths. With the clearing of blocks, the last tall trees in many suburbs are on the footpaths. They set the mood for the suburbs identity.

    I love this tree - it frames the view and must have been here for a long time. Next time you are in Carss Bush Park come and find the tree yourself!
