Plants at Site
Eucalyptus subcrenulata
Tasmanian Alpine Yellow gum
juvenile foliage, large trees up on the hill
I think it would be nice to show a sign beside the juvenile (even though it may need to be removed after a few years) and another further up of the adult.
Incidentally, Wombat Moor is just about at the upper altitudinal limit for Euc. subcrenulata!
