Arthur River Tea Tree Scrub
This work captures a section of riverbank near the mouth of the Arthur River where I was staying. It exaggerates the compact density, twisted slender forms and hardiness of this tree scrub as it hugs large sections of the river and coastal areas. Leptospermum lanigerum, commonly known as the woolly teatree, is a small tree or medium shrub widespread in many habitats, particularly in waterlogged areas such as moist, sandy coastal heaths, on river banks, riparian scrub, woodlands and on the fringe of montane grasslands.
