Never saw such a long one … this large Eucalyptus near Winstandly Road bridge across Bulimba Creek near where I live. This tree looks to be one of the oldest in the area, just be going on its girth as it’s at least a third wider/thicker than the nearest other ‘big’ trees. Wonder how old it is?
The mud-covered termite trail goes from a large fork near the ground to the canopy, possibly about five metres or 15-16 feet.
Makes you wonder whether the whole tree is impacted. Or whether the nest up top will one day proved a kookaburra family a nesting hollow.
