Default Eucalyptus

I love eucs, which is great since they're everywhere in my area even though
it's real windy here sometimes and they have a reputation for breaking and
dropping large portions of the tree to the ground even with no wind at all.
Not particularly safe. Must be mighty hard for koala bears to deal with in
Oz.

The oil is one of my favs in the steam room at the gym. Takes the
musty smell away and leaves a nice refreshing aroma.

It's only some species, not all that do that, though any camper with brains,
knows not to set up a tent under one, no matter what species.
BTW they are Koalas, no bear in their name, as they are not bears, they are
marsupials.

I knew that but we insist on thinking of them as cute little teddy bears
over here so they'll always be Koala Bears to us, right or wrong. I'll
wager some people didn't know it though, so thanks Barbara.
