Billabong Gum Tree

"Billabong Gum Tree"

It was a stinking hot day ... the mercury was nudging 40 degrees and climbing.  I was already seven hours into the first day of my road trip in central Queensland.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught the sign pointing off the road and into the national park. The sign said "Billabong This Way". First sign I had ever seen for a Billabong so on a whim I turned off the main road and followed the sign.

An hour later down four wheel drive tracks that had been destroyed in the last big wet I came into a clearing. 

Sure enough there was a Billabong right there in the distance ... but it was this old gum tree that caught my eye.

Just had to paint it so here it is :)

Note - This painting is unframed but it is ready to hang. The edges are not painted.
