TRA – Is the lemon lime flower blood gum trees growing all over Mua Island. I was always fascinated by its ability to protect itself. When the tree is damaged from borers, it releases pressure and allows sap out to protect itself looking like blood flow. It kind of speaks of the resilient the Mualgal Tribe exhibits when kinship systems are threatened.
