Snow Gums

On our return journey from Craig’s Hut…

…we stopped to view and photographed the Summit Tree…

Mt Stirling Summit Tree recognised as a living treasure

****

…then over the hill for a view of The Bowl.

The Silver Grey flora is actually Snow Gums

that were burnt in a bushfire around ten years ago.

The darker green patches are new regrowth,

which is slow for a eucalypt, however,

normal for higher colder climates.

 

Literally across the road from the

Summit Tree is The  Pinnacle.

A 360-degree view is possible from The Pinnacle.

In bygone years I would have jumped

at the possibility of photographing that view.

However, coughing and spluttering as I was

I decided to rest and clear my lungs.

The Bowl

Mt Stirling

1725 metres or 5659 feet above sea level.

A few metres in front of me is the brink of a steep slope

that forms one side of the area known as The Bowl.

The silvery-grey flora, down in The Bowl,

are Snow Gums that were burned

in bushfires about ten years ago.

Commemorating firing of

The First Shot of World War 1,

100 years earlier, from

Point Nepean National Park,

Portsea,

August 5th,

2014.

And now the world is nearly on the brink of a third World War
