You know Trev I've only scratched the surface of the charm and beauty I encountered in Adelaide but especially Waite Arboretum. The more I see of the major cities of Oz the more impressed I am with the foresight of the original planners...Melbourne included, I really feel each of us as Arborists owes it to our future city dwellers to do all we can (living our own lives accepted!!) to ensure that the urban forest of the future is just as attractive and beneficial to the people living there...ok enough talk more pics.

Pretty little park in the middle of the city
The elm avenue leading up to Waite Arboretum
More flowering pears at the Arboretum..yes I like flowering pears
A very aesthetic end to lovely day of looking and talking about trees
