I do love the trunks and bark (we used to have an Argyle Apple -Eucalyptus cinerea) in a previous garden and I just loved the peeling trunk and round leaves which I always included in homemade flower bouquets). <br />It's beaut that the Swamp Tea Tree Forest has been acknowledge and protected. A lovely spot for reptiles to exist with the not so heavily presence of birdlife I'm thinking. Loved the video too - a little world of its own :D)Sue (this n that)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06391234047655434003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889401180961072004.post-76924880095408040792014-05-22T23:25:56.117+10:002014-05-22T23:25:56.117+10:00Thanks Em.

It's a wonderful story about how the indiginous people used the soap tree for hunting. Necessity is the mother of invention?<br /><br />An interesting walk through the deserted forest and rather unusual to see no undergrowth, perhaps one of the reasons for the lack of birds?

I used to find a secluded patch of them in a reserve when I was a teenager and nap beneath them on a sunny day. <br /><br />I thought my Passionfruit might have been P. subpeltata, but I used an ID key I found online that said 'subpeltata' has leafy spicules (?) along the stem. After looking up what a 'spicule' was and then checking a number of my Passionfruit photos, I realised mine didn't have them and the ID key led me to P. suberosa instead. Plants! What a headache! Birds are so much simpler! :)<br /><br />You would have seen a Flying-Fox I'd say. I've never seen any other kind of bat electrocuted. I'm not sure if this is correct but I've always assumed that an animal can touch one live wire, but if it is already making contact with one wire and then reaches out and makes contact with another one, it's toast. The way that birds perch protects them but bats swing like monkeys do and it catches them out. For some reason, possums aren't as affected though? I mostly see possums running along one wire at a time like trapeze artists, rather than moving across multiple wires, so maybe they are naturally smart about these things too!Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889401180961072004.post-58420612716224099922014-05-17T15:26:19.048+10:002014-05-17T15:26:19.048+10:00enjoyed the botanical walk Christian and your vide...enjoyed the botanical walk Christian and your video too. It is a little eerie when you walk these places and there is no bird song to be heard. I love walking by the casuarinas on a windy day on the shore-line of the lake-their sound is quite unique isn't it. The passiflora you found I note is a differing species to one I found at Booti-Booti NP recently. It had the tri-lobed leaf form but it seemed softer texture to yours. I sent image to Royal Botanic Gardens and they ID it as Passiflora subpeltata - a native of Brazil. I really like the ironbarks, and of course many other tree forms; they are beautiful to observe in their differing styles. You mention the flying-foxes and today I saw a large size bat (so I don't expect it is a 'fruit-bat' as I think they're only in small size?) -------- but I assume it had been electrocuted when it flew onto the telegraph wire. It was just hanging there with wings slightly opened up. I didn't want to take a photo of it, poor thing had met a bad fate. From what I thought - birds don't get electrocuted because both feet hit the wires at the same time - if they don't then they must meet the fate of the bat?? Have you ever heard of this before with the bats? I wondered why it mightn't occur more often, or do they inherently know NOT to fly to a telegraph wire? Over to you Christians :).Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.com
