Fantastic to find so many plants, but it looks as if the ground had been burnt which may have encouraged good growth. I went looking for this species last weekend at Tidbinbilla as I had previously found 2 plants, but could not find any!

That's really interesting Galah... So weird that they are happily growing in the CBD, yet hard to find at Tidbinbilla!

I think many of these urban ones (and perhaps the ANBG ones too) came imported in the soil used. Or at least its a possibility.
