A photographer and a motorcyclist stop to admire the same grand old trees. A great moment to capture the grandeur of these hilltop beauties.

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday from Gariwerd/The Grampians, where Will Hudson captured this ancient Red Gum stag.
"Hidden away down a quiet Grampians road, this Eucalyptus camaldulensis hosts three scars, striking remnants of history & culture of past centuries. An honest time traveller across our lands"

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday from the Eucalypt Lawn at @anbgalive! With 70+ eucalypt species, it’s a top spot for #EucalyptID—or just resting in the shade from Angophora, Corymbia & Eucalyptus. Tag @eucalyptaus in your pics for your chance to be featured #LoveAGum #eucbeaut 🌳

Last week we shared the green gumblossom of Eucalyptus platypus—but is it named after the Platypus? Not quite! Both names come from Greek: platy = flat, pus = foot. The tree has flat flower stalks; the animal, flat feet. Same roots, different species! #LoveAGum 📸: Dean Nicolle

Two Fuchsia Gums often confused: Eucalyptus dolichorhyncha & E. forrestiana. 🌺 Look to the bud cap (operculum): dolichorhyncha has a long, pointed “nose” (from Greek dolicho = long, rhynchos = nose); forrestiana has a rounded dome. #LoveAGum #eucalyptID

🌱 #DidYouKnow most eucalypts can thrive in pots? Choose the right species, use free-draining native mix, give them sun + shelter, and don’t overwater. Airpots help avoid root issues, and pruning keeps them in shape. More tips + inspo on our Instagram and Facebook 👇
