My first/only experience in (Canberra) Australia had its truly spiritual
moment too.

Having spent the past 30+ years in two Eucalyptus-supporting areas of
California, it was truly a spiritual experience for me to see finally
Eucalyptus trees growing delightfully where they belong!

But, even more, was the great pleasure of seeing the leaves of those
trees with abundant insects on them and insect feeding holes/scrapes
all over the leaves.

Everything seemed as one with itself.

Oh-- the parrots were ok too...... ;>)
