A rare indigenous species -

the Moonah Tree (Melaleuca)

is hard to find, however there is an amazing growth of Moonah Trees lining

a short dirt track in Indented Head

on the Bellarine Peninsula.

They create a dark tunnel-like canopy

with the occasional burst

of sunlight filtering through.

I was inspired by the spooky, twisted

and tangled creepy branches which reminded me of the Disney animated classic 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' where the headless horseman

famously pursues Icabod Crane.
