  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

  Chinchilla Famous for its melons and a renowned spot for fossicking, fishing and camping, the colourful town of Chinchilla is an easy drive 81km west of Dalby along the Warrego Highway. The ‘Melon Capital’ of Australia produces 25 percent of the country’s watermelons, rockmelons and honeydew melons and celebrates its status with the biennial Melon Festival.
