Great! This is within 100m of two other old trees that likely have hollows. All can be viewed from Butters Drive.

Thanks I have already poled one hollow tree between Butters Drive and Yamba Drive which had Gang-Gang interest last year but this year it had evidence of Brushtail Possum use

I poled this hollow and two other hollows in the tree today. I also poled three hollows in the big Blakley's Red Gum about 40m to the south. This particular hollow is shallow and may be a drinking hollow. One of the other hollows in this tree was full with a deep reservoir of water and if Gang-gangs are entering it, it may be to drink. The final hollow was empty. Only one of the hollows in the southern tree were of a size suitable for Gang-gangs and it was empty. Have I got the right second tree?
