The tree cover in Sydney's Hyde Park is so lush and cool on a hot day.

(And yes, to everyone reading this from interstate or overseas: I know naming the big park in the Sydney CBD "Hyde Park" was not exactly a creative choice.)

(I'll also refrain from making me obvious jokes about Sydney's asbestos crisis.)

I love Hyde Park, it's going to be really difficult watching those trees slowly disappear as they die and fall down.

It's one of those "back in my day" things I'm gonna have ready when I'm old.

    The trees are going to die and fall down in your lifetime?

    Sadly yeah. It's an old article but (Here

    Basically the trees are planted on very low quality soil and are under strain, it means they're getting sick and dying/falling down.

    There's signs in the park (or at least there was when I was there last) that talks about it. There's rehabilitation underway but a lot of it is management rather than trying to fix the problem and preserve the trees.
