Tangled.
Cotton (or Cottonwood) trees grow really well in coastal locations around Queensland. Perhaps they have different varieties but generally have very thick, textured and gnarled trunks which form a haven for kids to play in and climb upon. Generally we just call the Cotton Trees and there is even a beachside location on the Sunshine Coast named after them. They have very pretty pale yellow flowers with a dark centre often tinged with maroon and black.
This lot seem to have developed a bit differently in the sand of the Brisbane River at south side Colmslie Reserve. They form a rather tangled arch, no doubt still fun to chase your friends in. Here's a link to explain all about them.
