Unid. Tea Tree. There were a variety of Tea Trees in the area and I am still hunting down the I.Ds of the many we saw. [Lithgow area, Central Tablelands, NSW]
Happy little Buprestid beetle, sitting atop of Leptospermum flower and gleaming prettily in the sun. Found on a bush care site in Katoomba, Blue Mountains, NSW.
Another lovely Tea Tree. I think this one is the Prickly Tea-Tree (Leptospermum continentale) but that is only a guess. [Blackheath, Blue Mountains, NSW]
EDIT: I.D. confirmed.
Tea-tree, Leptospermum novae-angliae. On the Anvil Rock track, Gibraltar Range NP, New England, NSW.
I was astounded to see this. I went for a walk through a lot of the area but it is really extensive and I just saw a bit of it. All these dead trees like someone had killed them. I am doing this posting in three groups. This is the first.
I took lots of photos and recently I contacted the Cooktown Shire Council by email and phone and spoke to the man who handles the environment for the Shire. He explained that for the 2 years 2001 and 2002 there was very reduced rainfall and this whole wetlands area dried up with the water table rising allowing the salt water to rise and contact the roots of these magnificent paperbark trees. (melaluecas). These are the swamp tea trees that can be hundreds of years old and can be massive. As a result they died and that allowed the whole area to be infested by weeds (more on that later). I think this swamp must drain into the small creek that exits at Finch Bay
This is the sign just off the Finch Bay Road and must be to highlight who is trying to do something about it. I know for sure that it is mainly the Cook Shire - no help from the Queensland Govt which shows little interest in anything outside south east Qld.
The bed of Repentance \ Boggy Creek above Minyon Falls is fringed by Tea Trees growing on the very shallow soils and in pockets on the hard rhyolite bedrock
Handmade soap: olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, ground cinnamon, essential oils (cinnamon, clove, lavender)
vernacular names: black teatree, river teatree, mock olive
origin: endemic to northern Australia.
family: Myrtaceae
It usually occurs as a large shrub but under ideal conditions can grow into a tree up to 10 m (30 ft) tall.

20210408_164929 Melaleuca bracteata 'revolution green'
Mannong Manmai is an "above and beyond organic" tea project. There are no human inputs whatsoever. This ancient tea forest has spread naturally since the ancients planted it 1500 years ago. There are no efforts to cultivate, fertilize or manage weeds or pests and no farms anywhere around this area. The tea trees exist and thrive in a state of bio-diversity unlike most other tea gardens in the world.

I am posting 10 images in this upload which will be boring for some, but I like them. The reason I like these, is the artistic points I see in them. I like free flowing lines and shapes and I think these look nice, even though they represent destruction. The way the dead branches reach upwards in a crisscross disarray often set against the late afternoon cloud, appeals to me. This area is close to Finch Bay a few kilometres out of Cooktown.
It was in 2001/2002 in very poor rainfall seasons, that the whole extensive swamp area dried out allowing the salt water to rise towards the surface into the root zone of these splendid, large paperbark trees (swamp melaleucas) - "tea trees" to some. After that the whole area was taken over by many invasive weed species and rubbish trees. The Cook Shire is trying to repair the damage but gets no help from the State Government, but some from the Federal Govt environmental schemes.

Tea Tree Gully Heritage Museum
Former Highercombe Hotel 1854
The Highercombe Hotel was built for publican Thomas Pearce and was designed more for guests than for bar customers with many public meeting, dances and the like held in the main downstairs room.
Re-routing of the main road disadvantaged the Highercombe Hotel which ceased to operate as a hotel in 1877.
Part of the building then became the Tea Tree Gully Post Office with the remainder used as the residence for the head teacher of Tea Tree Gully Primary School and as a classroom for a number of years.
The building was used as a post office and residence until 1934. The Post Office remained in the building until 1963 after which it was used as the Tea Tree Gully Council offices and library.
In 1967 the building was purchased and restored by the National Trust and converted into a Museum.
LOYAL HIGHERCOMBE LODGE
The anniversary dinner of the Loyal Highercombe Lodge of Oddfellows was celebrated at the Highercombe Hotel, on Wednesday, March 12. At 3 o'clock about 60 of the brethren assembled at the above hotel, after
which they marched, preceded by Schrader's band, to the chapel, at Teatree Gulley, where Brother Novis offered up prayer, and delivered a very appropriate address on the advantages resulting from Oddfellowship.
At the termination of the address the brothers again assembled and marched through the township, followed by scores of children, who seemed to enjoy the proceedings amazingly.
Precisely at 6 o'clock the brethren sat down to a first-rate repast prepared by Host Haines, Schrader's band remaining in attendance.
Toast - The health of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and the Host and Hostess were proposed and responded to: after which the meeting separated. Many of the members, however, remained till a late hour enjoying themselves with the good things provided by Host Haines. [Ref: South Australian Advertiser (Adelaide) Friday 14 March 1862]

Myrtaceae - Australia: Queensland, New South Wales
Tea tree
Shown: Detail of flower buds, fully opened flowers and foliage
"Leptospermum is a genus of about 80-86 species of plants in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. Most species are endemic to Australia, with the greatest diversity in the south of the continent; but one species extends to New Zealand, another to Malaysia, and L. recurvum is endemic to Malaysia.
"They are shrubs or occasionally small trees, reaching 1-8 m tall, rarely up to 20 m, 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." (Wikipedia)

On 27 February 1877 the foundation stone of this school was laid by Thomas Bath Esquire of Kooringa. The stone is of Teatree Gully freestone.
Residents of Kooringa, Redruth & Aberdeen and other outlying villages of Burra gathered for the unveiling of the new Burra Hospital as well as the setting of the foundation stone of the Model School.
The school, built on land donated by the South Australian Mining Association, was opened 14 April 1878.
Builder & contractor: Sara and Dunstan.
For the convenience of the Ministry and visitors from Adelaide a special train left town at 10am and arrived at the Burra at 1.40pm.
The afternoon was observed as a general holiday, all the shops in the three townships being closed and the employees of the South Australian Mining Association suspended work at noon.

A Tea Tree Leptospermum scoparium blossom, seen in Albany, CA . Taken by a Nikon F4s with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm ƒ 3.5 AI lens on Kodak Portra 400. Negative scanned into computer by an HP G4010, dust removal done in Paint Shop Pro X2.
These flower's maximum size is 25mm (1 inch) across: this one is about the size of a US nickle.
Having been thrown into confusion by the Sunmoth, I now can’t tell if this is a butterfly or day moth, though I suspect butterfly. The insect was actually perched atop a shrub and a bit out of reach, so it was a challenging shot to take. The stiff breeze and the insect’s tendency to flutter haphazardly made it even more difficult. Any I.D. suggestions welcome! Seen in bushland in Katoomba. [Upper Blue Mountains, NSW]
EDIT: I now know this to be the Common Whistling Moth (Hecatesia fenestrata).

Pink Tea-tree, Leptospermum squarrosum. Blue Mountains National Park, Blackheath NSW Australia, July 2012.
A mimic of a Lycid beetle, a species of Pseudolycus (Oedemeridae), on a Lemon-scented Tea-tree, Leptospermum polygalifolium. Prince Edward Park, Woronora NSW Australia, October 2011.
Thanks to Servitude for the ID. I was tricked into thinking this was a net-winged beetle, a species of Lycidae.
This paperbark was also by the river and I was impressed with the way it looked battle scarred. Well wasn't that a short entry! lol
