  14. Xenia I get the feeling that is a spiritual tree. There may be old stories about it. In Australia a tree that appears to be old and has distinctive shape always has an indigenous story associated to it. Often they begin or end a songline.Perhaps Bria can pick up hidden messages from the tree as animals are always very connected to the natural world.
