Ghost Gums

08 Feb 2013 1 206
Around Alice Springs, Australia in the East MacDonnell Range. Ghost gums are evergreen trees with white bark that are native to Australia. They are mentioned in the Aboriginal Australian Dreamtime stories and parts of the tree had medicinal use for the Aboriginal Australians. Interestingly, if you pat the tree, your hand picks up a coating of white dust. AIMG_6641
