Out of botanical interest, was this in a natural setting or a cultivated specimen? They are supposed to be around Bundaberg in Queensland down to Sydney on the coast, but I've yet to see one in the wild. 'Wallum' refers to the deep, sandy soils/heathland in that region. Posted 4 years ago

  Hi Ruth
  There is a retreat at Kurrajong in the Blue Mountains called Sangoma. It is set in native bush dominated by Angophoras. I believe that many of the the plants may have been introduced.
