Byrne family camping at 'The Waterhole', Fraser Island, Queensland, ca. 1907

  Byrne the elder looks to be holding a bottle??

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  This group of wonderfully picturesque backdrop-laden waterholes surrounded by wild rushes and paperbark trees is a main feature of the Wongi State Forest. Over the years the Tannins have slowly seeped from the paperbarks trees gently staining the water into a deep rich brown color. The water can be what is referred to as a mirror gently reflecting at you from its still waters. At the waterholes, you will also find a small rainforest mainly consisting of hoop pine with splashes of eucalypt trees and vast open woodlands due to there the water source found at the Waterholes the understorey looks quite healthy too.

Slender trunk bottle tree near Roma ca 1877

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  One of the outstanding features of the Queensland Bottle tree is its bulbous trunk which, after around 10 years of growth, can be as large as 4 meters in diameter. This tree is extremely drought tolerant but ideally likes plenty of water which it stores between the inner bark and the trunk. This gives it its unique shape and the reason for its common name of the “Bottle Tree”. Its scientific name is Brachychiton rupestris. The name comes from its oddly shaped trunk, which resembles a chubby, narrow-necked bottle. The Queensland Bottle Tree does not have any known subspecies but does have some relatives: the Proserpine Bottle Tree, or Brachychiton Compactus, which can only be found near Proserpine, and the Ormeau Bottle tree, which is similar to the Proserpine Bottle Tree, with only slight variations in leaf colour and shape.
