There is a sacred fig at Queens Park I think I have some info on it from Sharon (MR Parks) at work, will have a look and get it to you. There is also the Leichart Tree on River Street (this is a very significant tree to many, and holds history for the Australian South Sea Islander People), you will find alot of info on it in our history books. Berenice Wright is a local historian who would probably have many stories to tell us about the trees around Mackay.
There is also the Jubilee tree (Now located in Queens Park). It has many historcal stories associated with it too. I may have a recording about it from old interviews I did for previous projects...will have to look...
I also have been collecting a photographic series of trees..Will collect them up some day soon and show you.
I have a fella here at the moment (Eduardo) He is an IT wizz from Colombia and is restoring my old PC that had died and taken with it all my old recordings and installation work. He is backing it all up now and will fix my computer...He's says I have to treat it like a baby now, and if I do this it should continue to work!! YAY!!!
Nothing else to report...other than today being hotter than I would like and I hope rainclouds take away the light from the sky and replace it with lots of cooling rain!!

Thanks for the tree info, would love to hear some of those stories. How exciting having your computer brought back to life! Maybe you can copy the info somehow (very gently) to store it securely?
