Defence

Photo of a row of gumtrees along a main road.

The earth’s infantry,
defends homes and livelihoods:
rows of native trees.

Gold rush

Photo of a walking trail with eucalyptus trees on either side. The leaves on the trees are dry and browning, and the ground is covered in golden-brown leaves.

The lucky country:
there’s treasure above the ground,
along tree-lined trails

Leaning in

Photo of a gum tree on the sidewalk, leaning across the road.

The leaning tower
of South Australian suburbs:
ancient eucalypt.

Like no one’s watching

Photo of a line of gum trees at sunrise, gently swaying in the breeze.

Dancing to sunrise,
grooves to birdsong in the breeze—
lemon-scented gum.
