ditto - the top of the old box has broken off & is suspended in the wilga

another V.big V.old fella - super athletes to cut so many massive scars?

|
big scar with smallish epicormic shoots GG camp
|
faceless broken off scar on old dead boxtree GG
|
another beauty - so many big scars in the ridges - Im out of adjectives
|
the archives Big Standard & Coolamon are arbitrary anyway
|
the hat is for perspective obviously not decoration!
|
poor photography but nice scar - GG of course
|
I must ask Andrew Oldfield how long it takes to remove the bark
|
this one has broken off but still belongs in the 'Big' category
|
this scarface is breaking open so may not be upright much longer
|
another nice big scar around Cumborah that no one will ever see
|
profile shots are often easier with big scars - GG
|
big GG scar with unusually irregular sides
|
this may be the same scar from a different angle?
|
strangely long campfire scar - sheltering ashes overnight perhaps?
|
very big old fire related scar at GG camp
|
as close to perfect as you get in scar land
|
this one is excellent too - slightly shallower but wider
|
so many big scars point to many people living there often
|
Or were there many people forced up into the ridges in the 1880's flood?
|
Or escaping smallpox or settler violence along the rivers?
|
whatever the reason there are more big scars here than anywhere
|
the Gali gurranaa spring was badly damaged by White settlement
|
but it still supplies water to the township of Cumborah
|
large broken faced scar Gali gurranaa camp - 2 views
|
very big old scar tapering upwards - GG camp
|
this nearby scar is more symmetrical & the face is intact
|
this big scar looks familiar - possibly entered before?
|
seriously big scar at GG camp - why so many big scars up there?
|
another big guy with a broken top - more fragile than unscarred trunks
|

|
big bold & beautiful - 2 views of Wilby Wilby rd scar

|
sometimes you just fall in love with old scartrees like this - GG camp
|
this one is bigger with views of the top & bottom of the scar
|
the Cumborah scars are a class apart - Yuwaalaraay/ yaay country
|
I may have recorded this one before shot from a different angle
|
here the scarface has been squeezed out from the trunk as the scar closes
|
another big Cumborah scar
|
another Cumborah classic - why so many great big scars here?
|
this one has broken off at the top but kept alive by the epicormic shoots
|
The Cumborah springs would have sustained many people but what did they all eat?
|
2 big scars in this pic but the background one has closed over
|
shame about the cactus around Cumborah - disgraceful
|
most of the face has fallen out of this big old scar
|
|
this scar is in better nick but I think its younger - shallower
|
another stunner that looks familiar?
|
as does this one? Next time I go up scartree hunting I will look on the other side of the road
|
the face of this scar has fallen off completely unfortunately
|
2 big old strange scars in Stud paddock swamp
|
big box scar on Billybingbone rd
|
very tall scar needing top & bottom shots to make sense of it
|
lovely big scar from the Cumborah ridges - the best scartrees ever
|
messy but enormous Gali gurranaar scar
|
smaller but neater GG scar - all individually totally unique
|
why so many big scars up there in the ridges?
|
making shelters or boats during the 1880s floods?
|
Or wrapping bodies? The bark was used for something important
|
some are barely noticeable at midday
|
whereas some you can't miss ...
|
when most of the bark is taken the tree sends out epicormic shoots
|
top & bottom views of this very long scar. Fire related I expect
|
some scars still take my breath away after all these years ...
|
they are simply stunning in their simplicity & balance
|
their epicormic shoots sometimes arch out like octopus tentacles
|
unique wooden sculptures adorning the ridges of Cumborah
|
unless you've walked among these gentle giants you will never 'get' Indig. culture
|
many are breaking down now but still retain their grace
|
some hide behind the surrounding scrub
|
wearing wilga like a cloak of green
|
south facing to protect the raw scarface from the sun
|
seemingly endless with dieback extending the original length
|
2 views of big GG scar with twist
|
this one is beautiful in its simplicity - GG of course
|
most big scars face south or east to stop the sapwood drying out
|
this means the face is often shaded in the winter when Im walking
|
inward facing scars are particularly hard to get a good picture of
|
also many big scars are half hidden by scrub trees - usually wilga
|
other times they are just perfect!
|
cracks are starting to form at the bottom of this old scar
|
here the entire scarface is starting to detach from the trunk
|
this one is a monster with the broken off epicormic shoot as a trunk
|
this one has character with a burl like a wart & rescarred centre
|
another scar for the ages (I hope) in the ridges
|
unfortunately this big scar is breaking down
|
its not possible to pick a favourite - too many to chose from
|
another half hidden cracking up scar
|
the top has broken off this scarred trunk but the face is still whole
|
this one looks familiar I need to go back & check for duplicates
|
so does this one? I wander so dont cover a grid in the ridges
|
lucky last for this upload session - the classic rectangular type
