Our forest has quite a lot of very old Eucalypts - they are stark, stained, blackened and wonderful habitat trees. This one still has a couple of live trunks.
@madeinnl Hi Ko - Tasmania has some amazing trees - there are trees there that are about a thousand years old. They produce a resin which stops insects attaching them and stops the timber from rotting. They have found dead trunks of these huge Huon Pines which have been dated as 2000 years old - and the timber can still be used! Our gums aren't quite as impressive!! :)
@suzanne234 Hi Suzanne - it's great that you find our country interesting - maybe one day you could come and check some of it out in person? The old gums usually have lots of scars etc - from fires, resin from animals and insects damaging them, fungi of different colours staining them and physical scars from branches dropping off etc. Some of the really old ones can have scars from humans eg blazes from pioneers using them as markers or survey pegs and even large scars from aboriginal uses eg making canoes. We have one with a survey marker but it has nearly grown over and is hard to see. Thanks so much for your interest. Cheers Rob
@fbailey Thanks FB. I just discovered an interesting thing - the inbuilt edit on Windows 10 is the same as the Quick edits on Elements!! That's going to be so good - simple quick edits can just be done on Windows and just use the Elements for anything more complicated. It sort of takes the urgency out of learning how to use Elements properly. It makes Elements such a good choice - it just builds on the Windows edits. Yea!! :)
