The mallee box by the twelfth hole of North Adelaide Golf Course evokes a time when Adelaide was clothed in mallee scrub and desert senna. Brisbane’s remnant blue gum, growing by the botanic gardens, indicates a time when the city was once jungle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe river red gums of Melbourne bear the scars of Aboriginal craftsmanship. Mangroves, Leichhardt trees, acacias, eucalypts, foxtails … together, they inspire a narrative that jumps from Burke and Wills to sugar slaves, Empress Josephine to Johnny Flinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEucalypts reveal lost cultures and lost children. Cabbage palms tell of incomparable migrations.
