This is a great look. It has a real out back look to it. Don't see much like it it Sydney though. Funny that These types of settings always inspire me to have a go at something new.

Re: Feature setting story so far
Peter, is that pic of the trees and the granite tors on your inlaws? it is a beautiful setting.
Can you believe that those trees once populated that whole landscape?
Are there any plans to collect seed and re-populate an area around those tors?

Ageing nicely Peter

This is really an amazing looking group Peter. When I see it I instantly think of old/twisted trees in the outback.

Re: Feature setting story so far
Someone asked me recently weather my Euc setting was still alive.
Here is the latest photo taken today, after repot in November last year.
Kind Regards,
