Gum Tree

I dreamt of an old gum tree that lived in the bush. 

Swaying left and right when I touched it, the bark melted off. 

A magpie rustling in the gum leaves above, it was so beautiful to watch.

The old crispy leaves were falling from the top of the gum tree. 

The crafty goanna climbs up the old gum tree and is soon attacked by a mummy magpie to protect her babies.

The crafty goanna swiftly runs back to its swamp.

The old gum tree still lives on Kamilaroi land.
