While cycling around the westernmost corner on the ANU on Monday (i.e. Clunies Ross just north of Parkes Way), I noticed a group of White Box Eucalyptus albens (at 35 16' 57" 149 6' 33" if you want to check GE) in flower, and a smaller clump of an Ironbark
to the north, also laden with blossom. It might be worth checking these plants over the next little while, as they are offerring a lot, and I'm sure that I'm not the only species which has noticed.
These plantings probably represent another Lindsay Pryor legacy. There is another White Box near the Froggatt St X Barry Drive intersection, and another on Daley Road, east of the northern end of Bruce Hall. All worth watching.
