Description
There’s something special about going for a walk in a Paperbark Forest. The trees are stunning with their white papery bark and dominate the landscape which is buzzing with mosquito’s and birds all around. Good chance to see a few kangaroos too!
Melaleuca, or Paperbark Trees, can grow up to 25 m. They live in coastal swampy areas. Their white flowers are arranged in spikes (looks like bottle brush) and provide nectar for a range of wildlife such as flying foxes, birds and insects. The bark is soft and peeling and looks like multiple layers of paper. This tree is native to the east coast of Australia. Indigenous Australians have traditionally a wide range of uses for this tree: leaves and oil for their medicinal properties, the bark as a wrapper or lining and also to draw art on!
