 Trees / Australian Forests
In that same book I'm reading, The Wild Trees, which discusses the redwoods a lot, one of the last chapters is mainly about the climb and experience in an Australian forest with Eucalyptus regans, especially when they reached a certain elevation.
At one point, it rained, and then there were a type of land leaches.
Also mentioned, was a tarantula-sized spider among the tree bark.
Oh... and the possibility of falling tree branches on windy days.
So my curiosity is, are Australian forests comfortable for hiking in? Some better than others? Do the types of trees make a difference for hiking and safety?
Which hikes might be the best to see groves of certain trees? Legal access areas of course. |
