Not a good quality image, but this bird definitely had the yellow and green colouring of platycercus eximius, in addition to the more visible red and blue.

It is an easy mistake to confuse planted E. macarthurii and E. aggregata. Both grow on river flats and have grey fibrous to flaky bark. Camden woollybutt (E. macarthurii) grows in open forest on flats and near watercourses on the Central and Southern Tablelands between the Blue Mountains and Goulburn and has clustered conical fruits similar size to E. aggregata. E. aggregata appears quite susceptible to drought as the dieback/deaths of several of the large trees at Kowen in 2019 would attest. Both species are threatened and listed under EPBC Act

MLH many thanks for interesting comments. In reg to habitat the saplings grow at the bottom of a large drainage line that starts high on Mt Majura, runs first in north-south direction and then bends east-west; there are indicator plants such as rushes and sedges and other species that benefit from moist conditions. We lost planted shrubs during the 2021-23 LaNina events presumably because it was too wet.

Well done Wendy, thank you, yes your suggestion fits very well, we were lucky here we had a nice fresh one, and I was able to get good images of this tiny moth.
