Gum Trees
Hundreds of massive eucalyptus trees (or Gum trees) can be found in Kings Park. Gum trees are ubiquitous throughout many parts of Australia. This one stands over 100 feet. |

Gum Trunk
Many of the eucalyptus trees have formed incredible patterns on their trunks as they loose or shed a "paper like" bark. The width of this massive gum tree was about the size of my arm span -- over 6 feet. |
