Don, have you recorded Cd's previously? Are they for sale?
Patty, most of our red soil is a sandy loam. Our clays are amongst the densest/oldest on the planet.
Yes, bare trees for half the year. We have planted a lot of deciduous trees since Europeans came and started knocking down the evergreens and these areas do look stark in winter. Shade in summer though. A trick the Eucalypts play to conserve moisture is to turn their leaves edge on to the sun so that transpiration is kept to a minimum. This makes them almost useless as a shade tree in summer.
However, we get way more snow than Switzerland in Australia and the snow gums are generally the only Eucalypt that will survive above the snow line. Attractive they certainly can be.
and when the snow melts..
If you put a map of Switzerland on the map of Australia, it looks as small as a postage stamp.

Happiness simply is.
There need be no pursuit.
