The Beach
Day 73 – July 18th
Here I am on “The Beach” at the Millington estate, Eumundi. What a lucky fella I am. Thanks so much to the Millington’s for having me.
The Beach
I have always been fascinated by bamboo. I had a little bamboo garden as a kid but it really doesn’t grow very fast down south. Running bamboo seems to, at the best of times, crawl. I was excited to see my little patch had a stem nearly an inch in diameter and maybe 3m tall after years of careful tending.
7m high young shoot over 150mm diameter
Bamboo is distantly related to grass. Beneath the forest of bamboo leaves I can image being an ant in the grass.
Over ten times the diameter of anything I ever grew!
That is over 250mm in diameter!
