Smell of the bush .

For those people that live in queensland or northern nsw . Have you ever wondered what that smell was when passing certain heavily vegetated creeks . It smells a bit like possum wee . It is fact a plant called "smell of the bush" Mallotus Claxyloides . It is a small shrub or tree and you can buy it from native nurseries . So now you can replicate that bush smell at home . I have found that having it planted at home really makes me notice it more when on holidays . Some interesting facts i have noticed . You cannot smell it by putting yur nose close to the plant . You have to be moving around the plant to be able to smell it , weird . When in the car the smell is more noticeable with the windows up than down . Some people can smell it when i cannot or vise versa . Suckering plants have a much stronger smell . cheers .
