As we hadn’t been for a trip out to the centre of Sydney for a while, my husband and thought it would be nice to go there for lunch to enjoy the last of the warmth, before it gets cooler again. I got taken to a proper good sandwich shop, but that is a side to the plants that I saw while out today. As much as I love my food, I don’t do any sort of food blogging and this isn’t the place where I’m going to start.
Where we went was rather leafy, which is something I really like in any urban area-the trees cool down the area by quite a lot, especially noticeable on a day like today at about 34 degrees Celsius. A lot of streets in this area are similarly leafy.
This particular tree, shown below in the next two photos,caught my interest. Mainly because it’s knobbly, a bit gnarly and some sort of eucalyptus. I just thought it looked pretty good if I’m honest-a lot more interesting than cars or buildings!
While walking to a bench to eat our lunch, we (more likely just me) saw this banksia in Moore Park. I like banksia trees and shrubs. I am turning, more and more, into an Australian plant nerd!
Walking towards the metro station I saw a good few fig trees. I do like a fig tree too. The shade was also appreciated as we walked underneath!
When we arrived home, we had my champion little furry garden helper snuggled up on the chair. While I haven’t had a gardening session today, Cuddles often does come and help when I’m out there doing my thing.
