Good Bye Tree

The giant Austalian gum tree which use to be on our back field has been damaged in some of the recent storms we've had this winter in Auckland.  Strong winds finally cracked the tree in half.  The tree hadn't been stable for some time and there were thick, rubber cords helping to keep it up right.  The tree had also been infested with the Gum leaf skeletoniser caterpillar also know by its scientific name Uraba lugens.

    The tree was so big and some people in our school liked the tree because you could play with it but sadly the tree fell down. The tree was really strong but it was so weak that why the tree fell down. I liked the tree because you could play on the tree and its nice.

    That's sad. I really liked that tree. I remember climbing on it. It won't be the same without it. But at least there won't be any more Uraba Luegans. Ahhh... Funny Name.

    The tree was huge! I loved playing on it when I was at New Windsor, I was devastated when I saw it had fallen over! I loved climbing on it too, it was my favorite to climb.
