Sorry for my absence this week. I have been doing other stuff and blogging had to take a back seat. Well its time for another walk in the park. This time we did the second stage of the Cornubia Forest Park - Bushland Corridor.
It was an easy walk and suits TOH well. He is happy to try out his new camera too.
We crossed a few small creeks and they were not flowing at all as this walk was before we had all the storms and rain. I bet they were raging torrents during the storm.
There were other families walking and this little girl was a splash of colour in the brown and green forest. I think I know what she was given for Christmas. She was also a loud precocious little miss.
The growth along the creeks was lush.
As we came out of the forest we passed these beautiful orange trees. They are
Eucalyptus propenqua or Grey Gum. Grey??? you ask. Well most of the year they are grey but once a year, in summer, they shed their grey bark, (see the one in the background) and reveal their naked trunk which can range in colour from cream to this bright orange.
Apparently it depends on the weather how bright they are. After a wet spring they are more orange.

The houses near the forest were neat and tidy and on big blocks of land. Cornubia is a nice place to live.
