Melaleuca linariifolia
The council have replanted trees on our footpath after cutting the old ones down when they fixed the gutters. We hadn't had a tree on the footpath before. The original one died of malicious neglect many years ago I think. The old trees weren't suited to the position, they grew too tall and into the powerlines. As a result they were weirdly and probably not effectively pruned. The new one looks like it will be gorgeous and grow to 10m.....what? why plant trees under powerlines that are recorded as growing 8-10M tall? Maybe its the 'shrubby' version that only grows to 2.5meters. The neighbour was told they'd grow to 4m. Stay tuned and ask again in 5 years or so.

Maybe this is a good sign- was there anything in the mega-infrastructure budget about putting all powerlines in cyclone-prone areas underground over the next five years?
Not a thing.
on an unrelated note. When I turned on my email this morning, there was the message from Chris, 2 emails from Uni that I don't care about and 5 spam - send us your bank details emails. I deleted them and another one popped up immediately.
on a second unrelated note, the word verification for today is impant...I keep reading it as implant.
