@MichaelMulvaney @HelenCross - this is an interesting one from 2023. It was a plant health alert because it was thought to be myrtle rust. But it was sent to SESL Australia Pty Ltd, and they identified Pseudosydowia eucalypti Has caused dieback of planted blue gums elsewhere, so worth recording more possible sightings from significant urban landscape plantings.
