Yes I came across this 'tea tree' while walking the dog today. Not your average tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia, from which we get tea tree oil but a Lipton Tea Tree!! Fancy that!
It amused me!
These lovely bars are made with tea tree oil and apricot seeds for light exfoliation with Shea soap. These bars are great for all over use on your body for light exfoliation, great for the winter months. And are especially great for face bars for blemish proned skin. Tea tree oil contains anti-baterial properties that help fight blemishes and prevent new ones from forming. This will leave your face feeling refreshed and smoothed of any dry skin. These bars smell simply amazing! These bars are great, even to pack for an overnighter! These are for both men and women as they are only scented with the tea tree oil itself.

The rapid development of Wayville as a residential suburb has created a need for a public hall in which meetings and social gatherings could be held. At present the only building available for these purposes is a small room at the rear of the Baptist Church, which is too small for comfort.
Sketch plans of the proposed building have also been prepared. It is suggested that the building should consist of a capacious concert hall, a reading room, and a committee room. [Ref: Register 29-7-1904]
It was resolved that a building to be called the Wayville Institute, should be erected on the block of land which had been placed under offer to the committee by the South Australian Company for that purpose. [Ref: Register 1-8-1904]
In July last a meeting of residents of Wayville was held to consider a proposal to erect an institute in the district. At that meeting a financial scheme was formulated by Mr A S Hopkins (secretary), which provided for the issue of £200 worth of debentures of the value of £1, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent., to be redeemable at the end of eight years.
A block of land was obtained from the South Australian Company, and it was decided to erect a building, which, together with furniture and piano, was to cost about £650. Over £70 worth of scrip as taken up immediately, and on Thursday afternoon, when the Premier (Hon J G Jenkins) formally declared the building open, and incidentally inaugurated a three days' fair in aid of it, only £40 of the £200 was wanting.
From the inception of the scheme the residents enthusiastically supported it and have now every reason to be proud of the results of their efforts. The hall, which is built of freestone, with cement facings, measures 50 x 33 ft, and has a room at the back 32 x 14 ft for committee, literary society, football, and any other small meetings. Although at present in an unfinished state, the edifice possesses a fine appearance, and is a valuable acquisition to the architecture of the neighbourhood.

WAYVILLE SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL
A large and representative gathering of soldiers, relatives, and residents of the district were present at the Wayville Institute on Wednesday evening when a Soldiers' Memorial Porch was formally dedicated and a memorial tablet unveiled. The porch consists of Teatree Gully freestone and has been erected at the main entrance of the institute.
The Chairman of the Wayville Vigilance Committee (Mr. W C Torode) supervised the work, the money for which was raised by local subscription.
The number of enlistments from the Wayville district was 106, and the tablet contains the names of the following soldiers who fell on active service:-
R Chadwick
A H Chapman
E G T Clark
A Growther
H E Ellis
C H F Davies
L V Duxbury
R C Griffiths
A J Hopkins
P E Jackson
A L Miller
H A Pollard
A E Sheard
and the name of H G Collins has not yet been included.
The porch was declared open by the Mayor of Unley (Mr W H Langham), and the tablet was unveiled by Colonel S Price Weir DSO. The staff of Messrs Charles Moore Co were responsible for the decorations in the hall.

During my visit to the tea farm last week, I met many butterfly species. One of them is the Penthema formosanum ( some web sites show it is one of the Taiwan endemic species while some don't). I felt so pity that I did not have my macro lens with me. However, the 70-200mm L lens is doing great too.

Tolmie rocky clearing in December, 2014. Wildflowers include everlastins, native dogwood, teatree of 3 different species, native pelargoniums..
Leptospermum /?l?pt?'sp?rm?m/ is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the myrtle family Myrtaceae described as a genus in 1775.] Most species are endemic to Australia, with the greatest diversity in the south of the continent; but one species extends to New Zealand, another well into Southeast Asia, and L. recurvum is found only in Malaysia and Indonesia..
They are shrubs or occasionally small trees, reaching 1–8 m (3–26 ft) tall, rarely up to 20 m (66 ft), with dense branching. The leaves are evergreen, alternate, simple, sharp-tipped, and small, in most species not over 1 cm long. The flowers are up to 3 cm diameter, with five white, pink or red petals.
Three different varieties are found on our rocky clearing, all white and all relatively small growing shrubs.
I went for a walk recently with my brother and sister in law and we found this gorgeous little dam where the water had been let out and a small forest of tea tree had grown up in the resulting meadow. A dreamlike, surreal place.

Foundation stone 17 Mar 1856 by Fr Michael Murphy, opened 11 Jul 1858 with small sanctuary, nave of 5 bays & 2 narrow side aisles. Extensions (sanctuary, Lady Chapel, side chapel & sacristy), designed by Charles Hanson of Clifton, supervised by George Kingston, opened 11 Nov 1860. Extensions (eastern side) foundation stone 7 Nov 1886 by Bishop Reynolds using a “handsome trowel made of Silverton silver with a Burra malachite handle, chastely worked”, architect E. J. Woods, dedicated 15 Aug 1887. Extensions (western side & northern end of tower & present facade), foundation stone 21 Oct 1923 by Archbishop Spence, architect W H Bagot, opened Apr 1926. Corner stone of bell tower laid 18 Sep 1887, lower part built 1923-26, completed 1996 enabling dedication 11 Jul 1996. Finished building has 7 bays, 7 side windows, 7 doors.
“On the arrival of Dr. Murphy to take possession of the new See of Adelaide he found no ecclesiastical building in existence and was glad to secure the use of a vacant shop, formerly used by a blacksmith. In this he celebrated Mass until the school room at St. Patrick's West Terrace, was erected. . . In March, 1856, work was commenced. . . In July, 1858, the portion then complete, consisting of about 80 feet of the nave and aisles, was blessed and opened by the Very Rev. Fr. Smyth, V.G., the Bishop having died a few weeks previously, and been buried in the unfinished church.” [Southern Cross 26 Oct 1923]
“The structure is designed on the model of Byland Abbey Church, Yorkshire, which is in the early English style of architecture. . . The structure will consist of uncoursed stone rubble, with cut stone facings of fine freestone from Teatree Gully. The foundation stone, from the same quarry . . .” [Register 18 Mar 1856]
“The wall of the eastern aisle was taken down and rebuilt about 12 feet further out, thus giving an extra space of about 1,200 square-feet. In consequence of the increased width of the aisle through this extension the character of the roof of this portion of the building has been completely changed, and instead of being a plain lean-to, it has been broken into a number of pitched or valley roofs, with gables at the ends, the portion next to the nave wall being hipped to give light to the clerestory windows. . . The whole of the dressings, both inside and outside, are of Murray Bridge freestone. . . Mr. E. J. Woods, the architect, has superintended the work. [Register 25 Jul 1887]
“Dr. Reynolds therefore consulted while he was in England, with the famous firm, Pugin & Pugin, the greatest authorities then living on the remodelling and reconstruction of Gothic structures. They provided Dr. Reynolds with sketches of the proposed enlargement of the Cathedral, which were placed in the hands of the late Mr. E. J. Woods, who completed drawings of the alterations on the new lines. . . During the operations St. Francis Xavier's Hall was used as a church.” [Southern Cross 26 Oct 1923]
The architectural blot caused by the disproportion between the aisles is to be removed by extending the western aisle to the same width as the eastern; and the base of the tower, the front of the church, and a new choir gallery will be built The spire of the tower, the new sacristies and sanctuary, the chapter room, and other works at the rear will be left for the future.” [Southern Cross 12 Oct 1923]
English (Co Eyre) is a recently formed hundred in the N W part of the county, containing but a small part of purchased land. [Bailliere’s South Australian Gazetteer and Road Guide 1866]
Thomas English was a leading colonial architect in South Australia. He was Mayor of Adelaide 1862–63, and a member of the South Australian Legislative Council 1865–1878 and 1882–1884. As Mayor of the city Mr English was conspicuous for his integrity, urbanity, and hospitality.
The Hundred of English was named after English when it was proclaimed in 1866.
English was born in Maryport, Cumberland, England. He arrived in Adelaide 11 January 1850 on the barque ‘Richardson’ commanded by his brother James English: he was accompanied by Mrs English and his brother-in-law Mr Henry Brown.
The ship which Mr English’s brother commanded was chartered to bring out the plant and machinery and the miners and mechanics for the Burra Mine and the English and Australian Smelting Works.
The firm of English & Brown were large employers of labour. They opened the Glen Ewin Freestone Quarries at Teatree Gully.
They erected some of the finest public buildings in the province, including the Town Hall, the Post Office, Parliament Houses, Chalmers Church, the National Bank, Flinders Street Baptist Church and numerous residences.
Thomas English’s work as an architect also included the Kent Town Brewery buildings, corner of Rundle Street and Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town. He died at his residence in Parkside, South Australia 17 December 1884. [Ref: South Australian Register 20-12-1884]
The District Council of English was a local government area in South Australia from 1878 to 1932 when it was amalgamated with the newly constituted District Council of Robertstown. Prior to 1932 the council had four wards: Bower Ward, Emmaus Ward, Robertstown Ward and Point Pass Ward.
The District Council of English was proclaimed 31 October 1878, and a Council Chamber was built in 1887.
The council seat was located at Point Pass although Robertstown was the largest town in the district. The council had four wards: Bower, Emmaus, Robertstown and Point Pass.
The town was named by Anne Richards, one of the town’s first residents: after Poynzpass (Northern Ireland), a locality known to her.

[Ref: Kapunda Herald 10-5-1892]
Following is information from the first meeting of the District Council of Robertstown:-
*District Council of Robertstown
The first meeting of the newly constituted District of Robertstown was held in the Robertstown Peace Institute hall 24 May 1932.
The District Council of Apoinga and the District Council of English having been amalgamated with the District Council of Robertstown were represented at the meeting.
At that meeting it was stated now that the amalgamation had come into force it remained for the Council to do it's level best for the whole of the district. Cr Farley said it gave him pleasure to rise to the occasion to welcome the Council to Robertstown.
He felt that the amalgamation of the two councils would lead to economy.
C Sandland, on behalf of the old Apoinga Council, thanked the sitting members of the old District of English, and congratulated them on the cordial spirit in which they had attended the meeting. [Ref: Burra Record 1-6-1932]
Foundation stone 24 Aug 1882 by J Medwell Day, designed by B Castledine, opened 25 Nov 1882. No longer in use. First church opened 6 Jan 1878 in Albert St.
“ . . . for a long tune past the Baptist denomination at Goodwood have been labouring at a disadvantage consequent on the accommodation provided at their little church being altogether inadequate to the growing demands for sittings, though when built in 1878 there was plenty of room and to spare. . . The building . . . will be of a very plain, gothic style, the stone to be used coming from Stirling East, with Teatree Gully dressings, and filled in with another kind from Tapley's Hill. . . . a clock tower is to be made, which will be a novelty in Adelaide churches.” [Register 25 Aug 1882]
“The Church is situated on the Goodwood-road, and is built of rubble blue stone, with white and yellow cut-stone dressings in the simple Gothic style. When finished there will be a tower in front -rising to a height of 80 feet.” [Observer 2 Dec 1882]

NUMBER 47
Family : Myrtaceae
Melaleuca viridiflora is a tree to 20 metres high which grows in swampy areas in rainforest and open forest between Maryborough and the Torres Strait and generally across the top end into the Northern Territory, growing at altitudes as high as 980 metres.
Tolerates seasonally waterlogged soils and can occasionaly occur with red or pink flowers instead of the more common creamy-green variety.
Several varieties are recognised: var.attenuata, var.canescens and var.glabra. These differ from var.viridiflora in minor features of foliage and flowers.
I would appreciate any assistance from anyone in the Mission Beach area in identifying this species to the level of variation although that may entail inspection of the tree (NUMBER 47) in the Norm Byrnes Arboretum.
