AusBonsai

Evening All,
I was cleaning up an old PC for my son & came across these photos I took of two old Gidgee trees. These are along the old May Downs road, Mount Isa Qld.
I would travel this road once every couple of weeks & would often stop off for a drink & smoko on my way to a remote meteorological station that I looked after.
I decided one day that I should get some decent pics of them, after bushfires had claimed a third big old one further down the road.
I hope they inspire someone to create something wonderful

Hi Muddy,
Thanks for a very inspirational image. Isn't it wonderful how Mother Nature can come up with a tree like the first pic and we mere bonsai enthusiasts strive for years to make something out of our trees, but it still doesn't surpass the "natural" one.

FANTASTIC Trees Muddy ,thanks for posting .Raging Bull is on the money ,very hard to surpass mother nature.

Mother Natures provides us with such great inspiration. Great pics thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for the inspiration. Now who has tried it for bonsai? I'm happy with my mulgas, but I haven't been able to find this one.

These are a great species. A campfire made of gidgee wood is something special. they do stink though....
