There’s nothing quite like the scent of a eucalyptus forest after an extended dry spell is broken by rain – everything smells so clean and fresh!
Eucalyptus trees, more commonly known as gum trees locally, are the predominant genus of trees in Australia. Australia has over 600 species; comprising nearly 75% of our flora.
Some species of eucalyptus, such as mallee, can survive in incredibly dry and hot conditions; others are quite at home in below freezing temperatures.
