Where was I? In Civic Park Warragul. An expansive and lovely parkland.
The empty space of this sculpture created in 2016, is based on the circumference of the world’s tallest tree (they say) found in Thorpdale near Warragul. It was cut down to measure it. Can you believe it!!? It measured 114.3m. A Mountain Ash, the tallest flowering plant in the world. The sculpture was reproduced from a 3D scan of the 300 year old Ada tree near Powelltown in the Yarra Ranges.
The plants are a mix of natives and exotics. The brilliance of these fruits caught my eye.
These are not the softest fruits you would find but they are rather special.
An almost spent pomegranate. Wonderful winter colour and visual texture.
A eucalypt of some description I believe but the name?? The pattern of the bark is so beautiful.
