I also love the bark peeling off the flooded gums just now

Matilda looks like she's falling asleep. The bark is coming off in interesting shapes

[hunterjuly]

Matilda is so pretty

[Mags]

Looking healthy. Interesting trees. They do the same think our crepe myrtles do.

A lovely capture of Matilda and great textures

[Christina]

That bark really comes off in big sheets! great shot

[Jacqueline]

Drying out is obviously a hard job……

At first I thought Matilda was peeling the tree from the bark. Lovely capture.

Did the Koalas pell them?

[Beryl Lloyd]

How lovely to see the tree-bark peeling like this !

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@haskar @corinnec haha they don't intentionally peel the bark, the tree sheds (many of the eucalypts shed bark each summer). however, they do inadvertently help sometimes, I've seen koalas climbing and as they grab and push with their feet, bark can go flicking off

[Corinne C]

@koalagardens Thanks!

[Michelle]

That's one sleepy cute koala!

[Ian George]

Lovely pose.

[Babs]

Love the peeling bark from the gum tree.

[Islandgirl]

Aww what a snuggly shot!

[Shutterbug]

She looks so nonchalant.

[Harry J Benson]

So calm

[Joanne Diochon]

She looks like she is resigned to the rain and just waiting to dry out again.

[Rick]

Great shot. Sure looks like every bit of bark is peeling off of the tree.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[Sh]
