This picture of the trunk of a pink gum (Eucalyptus fasciculosa) was made whilst I was on an early morning poodlewalk with Kayla in early October this year. The picture was made prior to the sun breaking through the cloud cover:
The pink gums are situated at the low point of Halls Creek Rd. This creek only runs when there has been a very wet winter. This did not happen in 2019.
This is another version of the pink gum trunk made on the same walk , just after the sun came out:
Halls Creek Rd is a part of the Heysen Trail in Waitpinga. It has minimal vehicle traffic and this makes for a pleasant walk. Kangaroos and snakes (in summer) are the main problem.
