Around here, we call this tree a Blue Gum, Berend, because of its bluey-grey bark.

It is a stately and distinctive tree with hard red timber. There is an even bigger one out my window.

Because of their size, and because their limbs are heavy and can be brought down in storms, they are not planted anywhere such as in parks, gardens, windbreaks or roadside. They grow on the valley floors where most of the land has been cleared for agriculture or grazing. For these 2 reasons the only ones we have are either remnants of former forests or occasional self sown ones like this one on grazing lands in the valley bottoms.

Warm regards,

Ian

Warmest greetings from Imbil, dear Fü. I trust that you study program is going well and you are finding it stimulating.

Thank you for your affirming response to this photo. I was driving in the forest when I saw the group approaching in the distance, so I stopped quickly, changed lens and knelt of the road receiving images as they approached.

One of them asked, as they rode by, if I was a hobby photographer or was I from the newspaper - for he hoped the photo would be in the "Gympie Times". Little did he realise it would be on Google Earth and be seen in Turkey - and around the world.

Thanks Ronald. I do not know of it. I'll start with a websearch to see if I might find it.

Greetings Geerten.

Thanks for your interest. Keeping our roads and bridges up to standard is a challenge in this big land, with all its vagaries of weather and climate.

Hope you are going well.

Bonjour Dominique et merci,

It is a very attractive part of the Pacific - and what is more, there is quite a lot of French spoken in Vanuatu!
