Bottle trees
The streets of Mitchell are lined with Queensland Bottle Trees. Out here in Western Queensland is their native habitat though they will grow in other climates. It's the first time I've seen them on their home turf.
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
Are they a type of boab/baobab?
ReplyDeleteYes I believe so.
DeleteFantastic trees! There is indeed a great resemblance with the African baobab, so I've checked and both belong to the same family.
