Why does the location of this sighting comes up as "Yaouk, ACT"? There is no such place. There is a Yaouk in NSW, but it is more than 50km south of the location of this sighting.

@KimberiRP Hi Kim, Not sure if the problem is with Google Maps or NatureMapr, but many locations in the ACT, notably the ANBG, Aranda, Hackett etc, are now coming up as Yaouk in the Places field but the Maps field has the correct location. Someone has reported this problem to Google but has not been resolved. Annoying and frustrating.

Good to see others have found the spot too. I wonder how far their range extends

Looking at distribution on ALA and also the distribution of E. fastigata in 'Field guide to Eucalypts, Vol 1. Brooker & Kleinig, 1999, it seems there is an association between these two species within the structure of brown barrel forests......a nicely surprising and significant find!
