Magnificent River Red Gum

There is a magnificent River Red Gum - Eucalyptus Camaldulensis on the property. It is growing on the banks of a small dam which has not had water in it for many years.
This tree which is native to Australia, could be as much as 100 years old. These gums can grow up to 45 metres - this one is about 20m (at a guess). The patterned grey and white bark is quite rough at the base of the tree. It would provide a habitat for many wildlife species and the dense foliage provides shade and shelter.
