RED RIVER GUM
The Red River Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), a giant of waterways, stands tall near the Molonglo River and around my home in Conder. Its peeling pale grey to deep red bark ribbons away to reveal fresh layers beneath, while its blue-green leaves hum with life. Though more common along the Murray-Darling, in the ACT it marks the presence of groundwater and holds deep significance for the Ngunnawal people, who once shaped canoes from its bark and drew medicine from its leaves.
On a recent bushwalk through fire-regenerating scrub, I spotted one in all its splendour - its shredded bark glowing an almost unreal, orange-red.
Oil on stretched canvas / 25 x 25cm / framed in black wood and ready to hang.
