what do gum trees, wattle etc reveal about australia?

Answer 1

just went out the back-yard talked to the gum-tree for 20 min it didn't tell me a bloody thing(but the neighbor thinks I'm a bit nuts) he told me a few things

Answer 2

I suppose they reflect the limited nutrient levels of much of Austrlia's soil, as well as the variable nature of the weather.
Gum trees tend to not shed there leaves, until all the nutrient have been extracted from the leaf and back into the tree. The trees also also limit the growth of other plants nearby (allelopathy).
River Red Gum are one of the most wide spread specie of Eucalyptus and occur over most of Australia (fom the tropics to the alpine regions).
Eucalypts can rapidly respond to high rainfall by growth quickly. They can also be highly flamable but quickly regrow after fire events. Eucalypts often have very deep root systems (reflecting the limited water availability in many parts of Australia) and can live for 100's, mabye a thousand, years.
I have heard rumours that eucalyptus are also found as a native species in India but I'm not sure how true this is.

First, the forged issues... you've 2 issues going for you perfect off, solid use of repetition and consistency. In a loose verse poem along with this one the position you do not have meter to handbook the rhythm repetition might want to be a great help to a reader and set up a bypass by the poem. The rhymes also accomplish this. What needs artwork... The stanza breaks are nicely placed yet you may want to opt to decrease the perfect lin contained in the first stanza or upload one to the perfect 2, offering you with 3 octaves (8 line stanzas). Uniformity is a great asset. even as the rhmes do help create a bypass contained in the poet it receives uneven in some places. as an celebration: i'm the tanginess tasted in an orange peel the first line establishes the rhythm besides the indisputable fact that that is not persevered interior the following line, and in case you examine it aloud you'll see a stumbling over orange and peel. it really is the outcome of a spondee, it really is a foot which includes 2 less than pressure syllables (//). look at metered verse and observe if it improves the bypass of your poem. this may be performed with a Google search for or Wikipedia. The rhymes you've chosen are too ordinary. seem for added unique or confusing rhymes or 0.5 rhymes. you're also literally not constrained to end rhymes. you could position a rhyming be conscious contained in the line too, suggested as inner rhyme. i wish this develop into efficient. great interest!

Answer 4

Gum trees are types of eucalyptus trees and wattles are acacias, in dact Australia has so many Acacias they run out of names for all the acacias so the botanist said "What'll we call this acacia" and then they got the name whattle as in what'll. Get it ? Ha Ha Ha HA thats a sick joke but its the best I can come up with. More importantly the Wattle is used as a common name because during the early days our ancestors (God bless their cotton sox) used acacias to build their wattle and daub huts because a lot od acacias are termite resistant.

There you go about as interesting as I can get.

Answer 5

Well, if you want a scientific answer, they reveal that Australia has been geographically isolated for a long period of time - hence the number and diversity of purely endemic species of plants (and animals).

Answer 6

Many of them are adapted to survive heat, fire and drought. So it tells you that Australia is a hot dry country with occasional bushfires.

Answer 7

That our own flora and fauna don't give a stuff about the other continents. We are unique.

Answer 8

i would say only place you would find them and nothing better than the smell they give of

Answer 10
