Its just outside the old Army / RAAF hangers in town , in very old Bottlebrush Trees that would have been planted decades ago .

I thought they looked like European Bees but the body is more triangular than round . Other half has no fear and said he would get some honey if I want ...me thinks just looking at it is just nice .
