This tree has gone through some dramatic changes over the years. I think it is getting close now, just a few tweeks here and there maybe a new pot.
The angle has to be sorted out first.

Casuarina cunninghamii/cunninghamiana

So what ya reckon number 1 or number 2. Cheers Pup

Number 2 for me.

As an aside...
Both look like a person with long legs!
Especially number 1!

Agreed, number 2 is the best.

I have been leaning towards number 2 myself.

As an asside the tree is styled to look like many of the trees in our south west after fire has ravaged them. There used to be one down in the Valley of the Giants an area between Walpole and Denmark.

There a photograhps of trucks parked in it, unfortunately it was so popular with tourists that the ground became to compacted and the tree died. This was a tourist attraction.
So to bring back the tourists to the area and being aware of the consevation . They built a platform where you can walk though the canopy of the trees with out damaging the eco system.

Cheers Pup

I like 2.

Number 2 is much more appealing

Also agree with pic two, I think the whole thing flows better from that angle

Reminds me of this one:


Love the valley of the giants, we always stop by on our trips down to Albany to see the relatives. Tree top walk is amazing... just don't go in high winds I've noticed they now charge $15 for the tree top walk
