Here are a few more bark and trunk shots. All taken on a wet day so some may not look as good as they could.
First some natives:

And a couple of others:

Apologies for the sore necks. For some reason Ausbonsai turns all my photos back to the original orientation when it loads the photos.

Here's a couple more to add to the collection. I don't really have anything particularly old and gnarly, but I'll do my best ...

This one started off with four taproots instead of one. Self sown Chinese elm from my backyard, about 10 years old (?).
Thanks for this fun thread, Matthew.
