Thanks Ciaran - planted under the direction of Charles Weston in the 1920s - Mount Mugga was regenerated with white plants. I once hosted the presidents of each states landcare groups on Red Hill and I asked them when regeneration activities first started in their states. There was some native plantings of the Adelaide Hills and some early native plantings to suppress dust around Broken Hill but they didn't seem to have occurred before the 1920s and of course I pointed out that it wouldn't be the first time that Canberra, the beating heart of the nation, took the lead in implementing a great idea.
