Come along to the opening at 12 pm and share your own stories of what the Biyal means to you.

The exhibition is free and open to the public from Saturday, 22 August until Sunday, 29 November.

Love Snow Gums? Grab your snow gear and join an important survey this winter!

On the slopes of the Victorian High Country, citizen scientists in boots, on skis and on snowshoes are mapping and recording the health of our iconic Snow Gums, Eucalyptus pauciflora.

Dieback is sweeping through Snow Gum forests under attack from native wood-boring beetles, fire and drought, and science is racing to discover how to protect them before it is too late.

: The Crimson Mallee, Eucalyptus lansdowneana, is a South Australian endemic that t
grows wild only on the rocky outcrops of the Gawler Ranges, where it cannot be confused with anything else.

As the name suggests, the Crimson Mallee has red or pink-red flowers and can resprout from a lignotuber (mallee root) if damaged or struck by fire. This species is a great garden plant for hot, arid locales.

These photos are of two different individuals (and differing subspecies) at Currency Creek Arboretum.
