Bottle tree in the grounds of the Gayndah Courthouse

    Gayndah Court House is a heritage-listed courthouse at 20 Capper Street, Gayndah, North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by the Queensland Department of Public Works and built in 1928. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 13 January 1995. Gayndah Court House is a typical example of the work of the Public Works Department and is a continuation of the tradition of timber court houses in Queensland country towns, adapting to civic function vernacular elements and materials common to domestic buildings. The building has a T-shaped plan, with offices along the front and the courtroom at the rear.[1] The grounds of the courthouse contain a number of bottle trees, Brachychiton spp.[1] Other important buildings in the town precinct include the two timber banks, the two hotels, and the Shire Offices.

    The bottle tree has one of the most visually interesting shapes. It's botanically known as Brachychiton rupestris, it's a member of the Malvaceae family and is also commonly known as the Queensland bottle tree, or narrow leaf bottle tree. The common name derives from the tree's shape, which becomes bottle-like as it ages at between five and eight years of age. Some people believe the tree is hollow but the swelling is due to the water held in its trunk. The bottle tree is semi-deciduous and reaches 18 to 20 meters. But if grown in cooler regions it's usually smaller. The leaves are about a hundred millimeters long and these drop from the tree before flowering. The bell-shaped, or campanulate, yellowish flowers usually form between October and December in clusters at the end of the branches. Source: www.abc.net.au/gardening/how-to/bottle-trees/9428532
