Abstract
We planted a Tasmanian blue gum in our garden when we lived in Sandringham, a bayside suburb of Melbourne. It grew next to the high wooden side gate and overhung the wide nature strip that characterises the area. Two boys spent countless hours in the arms of that enormous tree, regularly climbing as high as they could to keep an eye on the neighbourhood, like cats on a cupboard. It was their cubby house and hiding place – adults didn’t tend to look up and its boughs were inaccessible to them.
