Tomorrow

Galls on A. penninervia, Mt Coot-tha

Throughout the forest below the picnic area were acacias festooned in what I thought were insect galls. But they are apparently caused by a rust fungus, and insects then make enthusiastic use of them. See Rust fungus

Tomorrow I give my presentation of my thesis...
