#gumtrees are quintessentialy #Australian. These are a few large ones growing in a public reserve in #Caulfield #Australia.

Pics 1 - 3 are of one that stands approx 70 feet (20+ metres) tall by estimations.

The trunk is gorgeous with its smooth, yet slightly mottled and indented surface.

The base looks gnarled and weathered, albeit a typical visual feature of gums.

Last pic is of two (with differing visual shapes) #gumtrees growing near the roadside and tram tracks.

They’re hearty, resilient and are as #Aussie as a meat pie and sauce!
