Eucalypts Australia has a social media awareness campaign celebrating gum trees on campuses around the country – there is a lovely Instagram pic of Monash Clayton, here. Shame they did not start this a year back, when Macquarie U had 120 lemon scented gums around its courtyard. They were chopped down over the summer because the way they shed limbs was deemed a safety hazard (CMM February 20).
