The trees were here first! Hence the curved path above. A classic concession to nature is the way the developers have built the shopping ‘mall’ around trees, such as this gigantic and ancient paperbark trees (Melaleuca leucadendra). We always think the path layers and shop builders had fun with their work.

Very surprising!
How old are those trees?

They are about 500 years, Mlle. Everybody stops to admire them when first visiting. xxx
Coincidence: last night I saw a program about the acropolis in Athens and the sacred olive tree of the goddess Athena next to the structure called the Erectheion which is asymmetrical because it’s built around the tree.
I’ll have to check it out. SBS?
Built around the tree, how interesting. These are beautiful trees!
They are amazing trees, Amy. Often called ‘paperbarks’ for obvious reasons ?
Nothing above 22$ except the tree!
Correct, Abrie. The tree is, above all, and priceless ?
Very lovely 🙂
Thank you
