Hook and article great, source checks out. The picture is not really any good at such a small size, though- are there no photoghraphs of the leaves? J Milburn (talk) 23:46, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

sigh, I think you're right. I'll have a browse on flickr. The tree is as common as muck. I'd go for a stroll but I am lousy at distinguishing all the goddamn types of eucalypt (of which there are many...). Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:13, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Dang, now if the photographer will tweak the licencing, then this is promising...Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:37, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
NB: This grows in a patch of bush ~ 5 min away by car. Might go have a look tomorrow. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:28, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Haven't been for a stroll as yet but a nice person on flickr changed their licence. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:00, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
