Note phyllodes in lower left-hand corner of frame. This was the very first specimen I saw there. 

nice pic's, good to see the fire didn't get there this time.

looks the trees in this pic got vandalised, and in a fashion, which could cause the trees death and maybe can shoot out from the bottom again....

The broken-off branch is a different species, it's blocking the view of where the slender curved branch continues into the earth. 

i mean the 3 trunks on the very right close to the frame, 2/3 up, whiteish trunks at the bottom, top parts dark, where the bark was left still on.

 

it's a myth, that the bottom bark, contains more alkaloids.it just easier to harverest.

stripping top branches, will harm the tree less.

Ah, I see what you mean. I did notice that at the time, but it didn't occur to me that's what had happened there. 

your pics from there are truly enchanting, if spirits roam this earth, they sure would choose a place like mt. buffalo.

and we should start using the first nations name for the place!
