User's notes
I'm not sure about the species - there were no cones. This specimen was planted at the entry of Valour park. The 4th photo is a crop of the 3rd to show the whirl of teeth-like leaves. We have a discussion about whether an Allocasuarina littoralis further to the south in the grassy woodland close to Clancy's track is a natural occurrence or arrived there by other means. So far all consulted botanists told us A. littoralis does not occur there naturally. There are lots of different species of Allocasuarina and Casuarina plantings in the surrounds: along Federal Highway, Antill Street, the east slope of Mt Majura, and Ian Nicol Street at the Fair; the latter are Allocasuarina verticillata struggling in the unsuitable habitat.
