If I got the locality right this is one of the notorious garden waste dumping sites in the reserve east of Mackenzie street - I can only hope that dumping has now stopped with green bins available. The bins should be affordable even for the wealthy residents at Mackenzie street. But then ....old habits die hard.
It always fascinated me that people prefer dumping garden waste around large eucalptus even using wheelbarrows to cart their waste, as I observed a number of times, rather than just throwing over the fence...

oh thanks Ciaran. I thought it looked a bit different to the young rain trees that I recorded near by but was in a hurry and didn't further investigate.

Jenni great photos - I hope to collect samples. There is one large tree close by which is Allocasuarina littoralis, Black She-oak, see https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4442112.
The Black She-oak and the River she-oak are local ACT species, but not local-local species ie Mts Majura Ainslie species that naturally grow in the grassy woodlands there.
I should also go to the east slope and collect samples of the she-oaks that the winery planted as a dense boundary planting with the nature reserve; these boundary plantings are certainly not the local Allocasuarina verticillata.
