This abstraction from a snapped pink gum branch in the local Waitpinga bushland is from an early morning walk with Kayla between Xmas and New Year. It was made a bit latter on the same morning as this one.
Several of the branches of the pink gums in the bushland had cracked and snapped over the Xmas period. I wondered why as it had been a wet spring and the early summer months had been cool. I had assumed that it was a period of extended dryness that caused the branches to snap or splinter.
