Bellbird Park has many tall tree trunks left standing like sculptures, lots of Eastern Rosellas and a gum tree oozing RED sap like rubies glistening in the sun!
This means the tree is infested by borer! The tree fills the channels in the trunk dug by the borer with sap and this flows out of holes made by the borer when they emerge from the trunk as adults.
The main sketch was done on location.
Spot illustrations were done later from photo references to fill the 2 page spread.
