BTW, the proper pronunciation of the gum tree is " you-calla-pedus". I know this is right because my dad told me that many years ago. :-)

Hello Jim.
I don’t mind if people correct me, and I do understand it wasn’t an endeavour you intended. I always welcome your inputs and enjoy reading your contributions.
But after saying that please let me correct you and I’m not trying to be a know-all. The correct way to say gum tree is gum tree. The species is eucalyptus and correct way to pronounce that is you-ka-lip-tis. The picture is from the internet and these gums are growing in part of the country that receives little rainfall. The creature pictured is a Koala commonly called a Koala bear and lives on the leaves of just a few species of gum trees. We have them here where I live. They are not particularly thick on the ground. We get visits from them, in particular and old bull koala. They grunt and sound not dissimilar to a pig.

And for 40 Deluxe I welcome your input as well. A response to you is only partly complete and I’ll complete it and post it in a couple of days.
Cheers, gary.
