  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, almost 6 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

  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

  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!
