Paper Bark Trees........

Paper bark trees were the next to capture our attention.

They are soft to touch and the bark peels away in strips, blowing in the wind as it hangs on, sometimes by just a tiny thread.

These trees seem to thrive in the water, I am not sure if they are a member of the gumtree family, another thing to look up, so I could answer the many questions from a very inquisitive Miss M.

I know that the aboriginal people use the paper bark to create paintings, and perhaps they may use it for medicinal purposes too, not very knowledgeable about such things, I was simply impressed with Gods ability to create such an abundance of variety in this one tiny pocket of the globe............
