Paperbark Tree

To those who sailed from Britain on the first fleet, the land down under seemed upside down in more ways than one.

For a start, the seasons were the wrong way round, and then the stars in the sky were different and even the man in the moon was upside down.

And then there's the paperbark tree, which keeps it's leaves through the winter but sheds it's bark. The aborigines used the bark as a sort of tin-foil to cook their food. These days they've got gas barbeques.
