On Sunday, I was at Newstead House - that glorious old building on the banks of the Brisbane River, near the mouth of Breakfast Creek, where I was taking photos of a wedding. It was blowing a gale.
It is a lovely old historic house - and quite popular for visitors and tours. There I found this extra ordinary tree! Things looking like huge peanuts dangled from the tree. I actually said to MM that it was a peanut tree, and he look and agreed before realising that they were far bigger 'peanuts' than the real thing. There was a sign on the tree that read "Africa Sausage Tree" - along with the botanical name for it.
