it's an Australian Snowy Gum... I believe.
Indeed it is! And they are stunning by themselves or on mass! We have another very funky one - Red Gum (which isn't actually a gum at all), they grow in the funkiest of places and the funkiest of shapes. I've been trying to get a friend to do a photographic book of some of the weird ones I've found on sides of cliffs and other weird places. One of which is on a wind blown headland where nothing escapes the general canopy, the tree to keep growing has gone up to the canopy, then back to the ground, then back to the canopy and again!!
The wierdest thing though was to see a gummy that has grown just lighly touching an overhang with a hanging swamp above. The touching tree has provided a capilliary escape for some of the neutriant rich water and over the years the trunk has become coated in an inch think layer of flow stone for about 3/4 of it's girth!! The most amazing and incomprehendable thing I've ever seen! Nature and time are an amazing mix!
