On the country property a guy called Holland lives along with his daughter Ellen. Over the years, as she expands into a lovely young girl, he plants hundreds of different gum trees and shrubs on his land. When Ellen is nineteen her father announces his decision: she will marry the man that can name all the species of eucalypt, right down to the previous tree. Suitors emerge from all corners, including the formidable, straight-backed Mr Cave, world expert on the varieties of eucalypt. And, walking among her father's trees and shrubs, Ellen chances over a strange young man who in the times that follow explains to her a large number of stories set in towns, deserts, faraway countries.... Haunting and mesmerising, Eucalyptus illuminates the nature of storytelling itself.
