Broad-leaved Paperbark

About

A papery-barked wetland tree so central to Coombabah Lakelands' Ramsar-listed melaleuca wetlands that the reserve's main boardwalk trail is named after it.

How to spot it

Thick papery bark peeling in layers, grey-green five-veined leaves, cream bottlebrush-like flower spikes spring to early autumn.
