Blackbutt

Climb the tall tall tree, all koalas start to flee.
The blackbutt, strong and resilient.
Fierce fires don't put it to shame.
Its strong hard base keeps it safe from heat.
Our natural reward.
The tree starts to blossom, white flowers are appreciated.
The tree brings food
Koalas, fruit bats and lorikeets.
Seeds, leaves, pollen, and nectar.
Our natural reward.
The trees bark a smooth cream exterior
mixed with a green splash
Swirled in.
Our natural reward.
