Thick patches of a kind of tree, much resembling brigalow in its appearance and grain, were seen on the river banks; but the box, apple-gum, and iron-bark, mentioned by ❋ Frank Jardine (1880)
The timber of the ridges was cheifly stunted hollow iron-bark, that of the river, bloodwood, and the apple-gum, described as so good for forging purposes; there was a total absence of those tall well-grown gums, by which the course of a stream may usually be traced from a distance. ❋ Frank Jardine (1880)
This was the apple-gum, by using which, they could if necessary get a white heat in the iron. ❋ Frank Jardine (1880)
The apple-gum, a bloodwood, and the poplar-gum (?) grew round our camp; the grasses were tender, but formed distinct tufts; Crinum was plentiful. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Having passed a rather open forest of bloodwood, apple-gum, and leguminous Ironbark, with isolated patches of scrub, and some dry teat-ree swamps with heaps of calcined mussel-shells, we came to ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The flats were limited, and timbered with apple-gum, box, and blood-wood, where the sand was mixed with a greater share of clay; and with stringy-bark on the sandy rocky soil; also with flooded-gum, in the densely grassed hollows along the river. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The apple-gum and Eugenia, with ribbed scarlet fruit, grew on the flats. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Some of the hills were open at their summits, timbered with apple-gum, and covered with white ant-hills; their bases were surrounded with thickets of the Severn tree. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Some patches of stiffer soil were covered with box or with straggling apple-gum and bloodwood. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The apple-gum, the box, and the Moreton Bay ash composed a very open well-grassed forest, between the lagoon and the river; the latter had an ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Grewia, Crinum, and the trefoil of the Suttor, grew on the flats; the apple-gum, rusty-gum, the mountain Acacia and Fusanus, the last in blossom, grew on the ridges. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The stringy-bark, the bloodwood, the apple-gum, the box, and the flooded-gum, grew along the bergue of the river. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
-- We travelled eight miles W.S.W. over a succession of plains separated by belts of forest, consisting of bloodwood, box, apple-gum, and rusty-gum. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
And again we passed over box and apple-gum flats, which, by their rich verdure, refreshed the eye tired with the uniform yellow colour of the dry grass, in which the whole country was clothed. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The bed of the river was very broad; and an almost uninterrupted flat, timbered with box and apple-gum, extended along its banks. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The country was a fine open grassy forest land, in which the apple-gum prevailed, and with many swampy grassy lagoons covered with white, blue, and pink Nymphaeas. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
On the small flats, the apple-gum grew with a few scattered Moreton Bay ash trees; on the bergues of the river we found the white cedar (Melia azedarach), Clerodendron; an asclepiadaceous shrub with large triangular seed-vessels; and, on the hills, the blood-wood and stringy-bark. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The apple-gum, which we had missed for some time, again made its appearance, accompanied by another white gum, with long narrow leaves. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Our killing camp was about five miles south-west from the Van Diemen; and we travelled in the same direction about eight miles farther, through a most beautiful country, consisting of an open forest timbered with the box-tree, apple-gum, and white-gum; it was well grassed, and abundantly supplied with water. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The hills were composed of iron-sandstone; their summits were generally very openly timbered with apple-gum and a new white-barked tree; but their bases were covered with thickets of the little Severn tree. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
