From the moment you drive, walk, run or cycle up
Fraser Avenue, the main entrance into
Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens, you know why the
Aboriginal people have for thousands of years and still today, deem this as a sacred place. Lined with tall majestic Lemon Scented Gum Trees (below) planted in 1938 Fraser Avenue isn't the only entrance to Kings Park but it is the most impressive, giving you spectacular views of the city and the Swan River all the way up.. can you imagine picnicking on a lovely day along those grassy slopes with that view, fabulous! One of the oldest trees (above) with views of the city peaking through is a mature
Australian Red Cedar.
Love the roots on this rubber tree.....
..and when you reach the top, the view through the tall palm trees is not too shabby :) There are many more magnificent trees in Kings Park, I'll save them for another day. I hope your week started well, take care and stay safe. P.s. in the foreground below the
Flame of Remembrance.....
MAjesty is the first word that comes to mind when seeing those magnificent trees!
ReplyDeleteImpressive and beautiful!
There is indeed something majestic and somewhat magic about these trees (that 3rd one I especially love). I'm not surprised places associated with these might be deemed sacred. These are all just beautiful, lovely calming Monday post.
ReplyDeleteTrees are fabulous and I expect that you won't be climbing any of them just yet :). Many will know you are suffering with your back still yet you plod on writing comments and posting super pics like these. Bless you. ICE - every 2 hours for 10 minutes. A bag of frozen peas will do the job :). Take care, Grace!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful big trees. Love the third composition!
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible, majestic trees!! I agree with JM, I love the third composition, too! Beautiful captures all!! Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteYou take the Red Cat, right? Oh, how I miss Kings Park! Got a fun magnet at the Tourist office (yes, I was a tourist, right?): "Australian men - shear genius!", showing two men... well, shearing sheep. Bought it for a friend, but had to keep it - too cool to give away! Yummy, too! (the men!)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I do love sheep, too, Määääh! :-)
I didn't think that your young country was old enough to have trees that big! The root system on the tree in the third photo is amazing - very shallow!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm impressed! Those trees are all magnificent. We have similar places in Florida but none quite so pristine. I'm making a note and it's going on my bucket list!
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos...the trees and views are magnificent
ReplyDeleteYAY, you're posting somewhere I've been! I loved Kings park - it was one day before HM was to arrive for CHOGAM so there wasn't even a bin in view. All the wildflowers were out in all their glory too. So they're Lemon scented gums on the avenue! Grace you could start a blog just on Kings Park and its nooks and crannies and seasons!
ReplyDeleteI just loved it. Mmmm lovely gift store too for a spot of retail therapy. ;)
Haha! I KNEW there was a reason to love that tree - RED Cedars ROCK! Actually, RED anything rocks ...
ReplyDeleteStunning shots!
ReplyDeleteThe tree in the top photo looks surprisingly similar to huge Oak trees I've seen in the South.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant shots of these fab trees, Grace! And the weather still looks great.
ReplyDeleteNice and green.
ReplyDeleteTrees always seem to be so full of soul.
ReplyDeleteLemon scented gum! Does Wrigley know about this? I'd like to have a picnic under gum and palm trees - no examples here.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hamilton, that first one would do mine good. Love Palm trees too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous fabulous place, my dear :)

Simply beautiful. These big old trees might have some very old history. many people may have passed under it. Its interesting to sit under its shade for some time :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
Those trees are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely love that rubber tree!!!
ReplyDeleteThat rubber tree looks like its about to get up and walk towards you Grace. Love the lithe and sinewy nature of these trees. A bit like the fig tree.
ReplyDeleteReal good pictures today!
ReplyDeleteStunning images
ReplyDeleteI love the light in these photos Grace ;-)
ReplyDeletewhat an amazingly gorgeous tree .. if it could talk, imagine all it could reveal....
ReplyDeleteYour wonderful photos certainly honor this beautiful park. Gorgeous trees, fantastic views, green, green grass; what a perfect spot.
ReplyDeleteI confess. I'm a tree-hugger. Love the tree images!
