Fallen Gum raft style ?

[PaulC]

Hi everyone,

this tree has caught me eyes over the years, and finaly had the opportunity to get a pic or two of it.

A large gum which has fallen in the paddock.

Not quite a raft yet, but has a nice new apex.

( I think that apex has been starting to form for about 25 years, I have been watching this tree for a very, very long time !! )

Any thoughts ?

Hi,
I see old gums like this all the time and I reckon it would make a great new style. Not really a traditional type of raft as there is usually quite a bridge or arch in the middle with a new trunk or two standing up from the middle.

Those who are not in redgum country may not understand if they haven't seen them but they are interesting.

That's a beauty Paul! Thanks for sharing.

I like the little Aussie Raven accent sitting on the raft in the first pic.

Regards,
Steven
