View the images in this podcast When I first heard about the idea of emailing trees, I must admit I did think it was a bit odd. The whole idea of wanting to send another email for any reason whatsoever was undoubtedly a bit strange anyway.   I spend a significant amount of my time thinking about how I won’t send another email and search through a range of tools that will prevent me from doing so. My number one tool at the moment is using the telephone, an...

We begin our tour standing on the original footprint of the 1816 Botanic gardens.

 One of the ornate entrances, to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney

Among the chorus of sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia, Paul continues, our walk down the garden path below the parrots while looking out for a Rainbow Lorikeet.


Rainbow Lorikeets are Australia's fruity coloured birds. Brightly coloured blue, orange, yellow and green.

Our second stop is look back in time. And in this garden, what we're trying to do is really tell that early historical story through plants.

So, we're surrounded by grass trees, these remarkable Australian plants with long linear leaves and tall flower spikes covered in small creamy white flowers.A significant plant to the Gadigal people.

One of the many birds having breakfast, during our tour

'Gal' means people, so the Gadigal literally means the people of Cadi. 

The name Cadi comes from the grass tree species Xanthorrhoea, a native plant that local Aboriginal communities would make sections of spear shaft from the stems and glue together with the resin.

Across the path, we can also see some bananas, coffee, and there's tea. And they were the plants brought out by the first fleet. 

The kind of plants brought out by the first fleet were planted on this site around July 1788.

during our tour with Paul on the podcast.

But where we're standing now, we're surrounded by the types of plants that grew here before European settlement.these are species of plants that we know grew here,  thanks to our ecological department that map the traditional Flora of Australia.
