About 4 days ago my dad and I were riding around on the base of the new road that is going past our place. Because all the grass and small trees have been cleared to make way for the road, it is possible to see what was behind all of the grass. Anyway, we could see a small creek that was near the fence, so we went under the fence to investigate. I had explored some of this creek (nearer to our place), but I never made it up this far. The photos below tell what I found.
We found heaps of lilypilly trees in flower! In case you don’t know, lilypilly trees produce small, pinkish fruit that can range from being very sweet to quite sour. To find out what they look like, just search for lilypilly in Google Images.
These are some of the blossoms that later develop into fruit. When I was taking photos there were hundreds (thousands?) of bees collecting pollen.
Except for the tree on the far left, all the trees in this picture are lilypillys. You can use the fence post in the bottom right corner as a reference to how big they are.
I really should make a map showing all the lilypilly tree locations, because I know of quite a few
