Scribbly Gum - Eucalyptus Sclerophylla
The Scribbly Gum derives it’s name from the scribbles on the bark of the Eucalypt.
The zig-zag scribble patterns are tunnels in the bark & are created by the larvae of the Scribbly Gum Moth.
Eggs are laid between the old & new layers of bark & the scribbles are revealed when layers of the the bark is shed.
These gum trees are restricted to around the Sydney area on poor sandstone soil.
They are usually found in the mid Blue Mountains at around 600-800m elevation.
The trees are a medium size, with a gnarly habit, featuring smooth pale coloured bark.
They flower late spring to early summer.
Mid Blue Mountains bushwalks/waterfalls.
The waterfalls in the mid-Blue Mountains don’t receive as much publicity as the better known waterfalls in the upper Blue Mountains.
Certainly, the waterfalls around Katoomba, Blackheath & Wentworth Falls are larger & more spectacular.
Also, these areas are home to awe-inspiring views, imposing clifflines, and majestic valleys like the Jamison & the Grose Valleys.
The mid mountains landscape is more intimate, but there are some hidden gems to be found around the rainforests of Lawson & Hazelbrook.
Note: If you’re a keen photographer you should visit these waterfalls after decent rain.
Warning: some of these are rough tracks with slippery rocks so watch your footing & wear decent walking shoes or boots.
Hazelbrook is home to the well-known & much photographed Terrace Falls on the south side of the township.
The Terrace Falls reserve is a short walk of a few kms through lovely rainforest & contains three waterfalls.
It’s possible to make this into a more interesting circuit walk by turning left at the junction with Bedford Creek.
From there a short walk brings you to Bedford Pool - here you turn left & follow an un-named creek up a gully.
This track contains a few cascades and brings you to Pyramid Falls & an ‘orphan’ pagoda at the head of the gully.
It’s quite unusual to find rock pagodas in this area. From here you follow one of a couple of fire-trails back to where you started from.
For experienced walkers only:
The Terrace Falls track can be combined with the South Lawson waterfall walk to provide a feast of waterfalls.
Turn right at the bottom of the Terrace Falls track, follow Bedford Creek to Willawong Pool, then turn right into Lawson Creek.
From there its approx. a 1.5km off-track bush-bash to reach the Sth Lawson reserve with lots of rock-hopping involved & creek crossings.
Allow half a day for this circuit (or a full day if you’re a serious photographer).
Note: There is a fire-trail that can be used to combine these two walks, but its quite boring walking in my opinion, though much quicker.
The South Lawson waterfall reserve is an easy 3km walk that contains four waterfalls & takes you through some varied vegetation.
This reserve features: Junction, Cataract, Adelina & Federal Falls.
On the north side of Lawson is the pretty Dante’s Glen, Lucy’s Glen, & Empire Pass tracks which are among the best walks in this area.
Dante’s Glen has a certain ambience to it with lovely rainforest & is home to three waterfalls including Fairy Falls.
It’s possible to combine Dante’s Glen with Empire Pass to make a great circuit walk of around 7-8kms, through a quite pristine area.
Northern Hazelbrook has a short walk of a couple of kms that features five waterfalls including Oaklands, Burgess & Horseshoe Falls.
This track runs between Oaklands Rd & Winbourne Rd. Along the way is a rough overgrown track that leads to an amphitheatre area.
So around 20 waterfalls can found in several bushwalks within a few kms drive of each other in the Hazlebrook-Lawson area.
Here you’ll find lovely patches of rainforest, impressive trees, wildflowers, colourful fungi, glow-worms, lizards, & yabbies. Enjoy!

From Wiki:
Eucalyptus haemastoma
Eucalyptus haemastoma, the scribbly gum, is an Australian eucalypt that is named after the "scribbles" on its bark. These zigzag tracks are tunnels made by the larvae of the scribbly gum moth and follow the insect's life cycle. Eggs are laid between layers of old and new bark.More at Wikipedia
I started taking photos of this street artist as he sketched a young boy's portrait. And this guy was waiting for his turn and I took some photos as the artist did his portrait sketch.
The guy was kind enough to pose for the camera with the finished sketch after the session. I'm sending him the link to this in a little while.
What scribbles?
Interesting scribbles found out and about in the streets. So many different things to scribble with and on.
We "bush-bashed" from the old bush Holden (car) to the old Scribbly Gum on a figure 8 track where a small housing development had failed to go ahead (many years ago).

The Scribbly Gum would have many stories to tell, if only we could listen/read!

I went wandering with a friend yesterday who looks up close at things I typically just walk by. I learned that there can be multiple lichens, mosses, and I don't know what, in one small area of tree bark. Here is what I think is Common Script Lichen", and some other things which I have no clue. Yet. My friend said the darker area is Beech Sucker. Sure.
Since I posted this, I have learned that these lichens actually need to be tested in a lab to determine for sure what they are. Also, the script lichen is called Graffiti Lichen, Genus Graphis.
There is a reason I am not a scientist.
