In May 1941, photographer Harold Cazneaux wrote about this river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) near Wilpena Pound, South Australia: 'This giant gum tree stands in solitary grandeur on a lonely plateau in the arid Flinders Ranges, South Australia, where it has grown up from a sapling through the years and long before the shade from its giant limbs ever gave shelter from the heat to white man. The passing of the years has left it scarred and marked by the elements - storm, fire, water, unconquered it speaks to us of a Spirit of Endurance. Although aged, its widespread limbs speak of a vitality that will carry on for many more years. One day when the sun shone hot and strong, I stood before this giant in silent wonder and admiration. The hot wind stirred the leafy boughs and some of the living elements of this tree passed to me in understanding and friendliness expressing the 'Spirit of Australia.'
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
