A cute piece of street art in #Toorak #Australia.

Some kind of #gumnut with our iconic gold $1 coin featured at the base.

Did you know next year will be the 40th year this coin replaced the one dollar note?

How time flies!

This appeared sometime during lockdown and it’s just lovely.

The #echidna is so cute, so too the #rosella… beautiful colouring. Vibrant.

#Wombat and #bluetonguelizard even get a gig too!

The peeps in this scene can be described perhaps as #gumnut characters. Not sure, but I reckon their heads resemble the fruit from a eucalypt tree.

The one in blue, riding the rosella looks like it’s having fun!

The entire face of this art piece stretches about 20 metres (65 foot) and is located in downtown #Bentleigh #melbourne #victoria

Looks terrific IRL 🙏💖

This little #gumtree is so unassuming, beaming with pride in its early years in a #Melbourne shopping centre carpark

It’s ‘fruit’; the #gumnut is plentiful, so too it’s new leaves that contain an abundance of eucalyptus oil

I had a little discussion with it. And it kinda went like this…

“Your new trunk is shedding last years cover, as your new bark peels away and falls on the ground to decompose over time. You are self sustaining, as it’ll replenish the nutrients for the soil, which is necessary to your future growth.

Your fruit is in great supply this year, which means you’re abundant in health and of giving to the universe in which you live

And the slender new leaves you’ve grown are testimony to your giving nature. The healing properties of the eucalyptus you produce is a virtuous substance to share with those you grace your presence with; us humans.

Over and above however, you are simply beautiful. You want for nothing, you stand proud in your grace.

I see you… and now others do too

Be well my new friend”.

Did you know there are over 700 species of #gumnut trees?

They’re #eucalypts and they are fibrous, hard or stringy, with leaves containing oil glands.

The fruit is a woody capsule commonly referred to as a "gumnut".

Didn’t realise a gumnut was indeed a fruit!

Learn something every day huh?!!

👏👏🙏💖
