A flock of Corellas, having a spot of afternoon tea, courtesy of the She Oaks (aka casuarinas). The word ‘casuarina’ derives from the word ‘cassowary’ – she oaks are characterised by their fine, textured evergreen foliage, that looks like the feathers on the bird. She oak foliage means that it is often mistaken for a pine tree, and like pine trees, she oaks have little cones full of seeds. For these reasons, she oaks attract many native birds.
