Taken some years after the major fires through the victorian alps in 2003 dead and decaying snowgums like this can still be seen in all directions from the tops of most peaks. The fire burned so hot that in many areas these slow growing gums have not started to recover at all. I had a an image in mind like this before I went up to the Hight Country on this trip with a big storm and the white gums, I got my wish!

Just catching the last rays of sunshine, she looks very relaxed…

This image is of a very steep slope off The Razorback near Mt.Hotham toward Mt.Feathertop. You can clearly see the effects of both the weather and gravity on the paterned snow. It is amazing how tough the snowgums are, and the places they can survive. ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
Taken on Mt.Higginbotham at Mt.Hotham the cloud had just thinned enough toward the sun enough to allow a soft but distinct shadow to be cast by the snowgum onto the fresh snow. ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
This was taken in late Autumn before the start of the official snow season, looking down the top trail at Mt.Baw Baw. The overhanging snowgums laden with snow, the fog and dropping away of the track gave a feeling of walking through a snowy tunnel. ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
This photo was taken looking Due west from Mt.Higginbotham at Mt.Hotham resort just as a storm was coming in. Fresh snow had recently fallen so it was a real winter wonderland! / / This shot was taken not far from, and about 30 minutes before this panorama . / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
A few snowgums in the afternoon light at Guthega in the Snowy Mountains Australia. Other images in this series: Snowgums / More winter images
This was taken between Mt.Hotham and Dinner Plain, at JB Plain in the Victorian Alps. It shows one situation where shooting in the middle of the day was the best time as the broad snow gum canopy cast a nice consistently patterned shadow across the fresh snow. / ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
the morning dew just brought out all the nature colours
This shot was actually slightly overexposed, which allowed the snow gum that has a dusting of fresh snow to come out in a more ghostly grey, with detail in the trunk retained. The surrounding snow and sky however wasn’t completely washed out, and the slight detail and contrast there allows you to just discern its place relative to the snow and this sky. / ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
I love the immense variation in patterns on gum trees. This snow gum was taken at Mt Perisher, NSW, in 2006…during a very rare day of snow for that year!
Snow Gums can show a wonderful range of bark colours. This particular tree was a lovely red. The patterns in the peeling bark gave the impression a large, clawed animal has been scratching the tree. ~ / Browse Images by Category : Snow Landscape Nature
The Majestic snowgum are more dramatic twisted and stunted than those growing at lower levels because of altitude climate and blasting effects of wind,snow and ice / Even though these snowgums experience frequent wind and snow damage they have the ability to repair themselves

From the high plains to the deserts – the Eucalyptus is botanically iconic to Australia. With over 700 species ranging from stunted shrubs in the arid regions to the tallest flowering plant on the planet, their diversity is as grand as their stature. Most species are not frost or cold tolerant (temps down to -5C) though there is one species that lives in the alps of the mainland affectionately known as the ’snow gum’. (Eucalyptus pauciflora ). Whilst three other cold tolerant species exist in the highlands of central Tasmania. Growing as woodlands or open woodlands from 1300m-1800m ASL in Tasmania,Victoria and New South Wales where they form the altitudinal limit of the tree line. The ’snow gum’ can become a gnarled old warrior as it eeks out an existance in poor soil with short growing seasons in harsh climates. Sometimes shedding bark revealing bright green,yellow or even orange-red under bark. It certainly makes for a brilliant dash of colour particularly in the snow. When in these alpine regions I often find it hard not to get ‘lost’ in their beauty and character and always find myself searching for those special individuals. Specimans with so much character that they speak for themselves.
