We're batty about Flying-foxes, and you should be too! Nomadic pollinators and seed dispersers, these Grey-headed Flying-foxes can transfer pollen 100s of kms, keeping eucalypt populations connected and genetically diverse. #LoveAGum #OurEucalyptHome

A pair of playful Galahs dance in the smooth boughs of a eucalypt. We've been seeing lots of Galahs and other parrots inspecting & squabbling over tree hollows recently! 'Tis the season! What have you spotted up a gum lately? #LoveAGum #OurEucalyptHome 📸: James Donner

Cheap, low-quality overseas imports of 'eucalyptus oil' fill Aussie stores, & sometimes contain little to no actual Eucalyptus oil! Read (and watch) how the local-industry is fighting & back future-proofing locally-produced, high-quality oil on sustainable Blue Mallee (E. polybractea) farms.

What if we could spot bushfire risk from space before a fire starts? Researchers at the Fenner School are developing OzFuel, a world-first satellite system designed to map the flammability of eucalypt forests and help improve bushfire preparedness across Australia.

Scientists develop tech to measure eucalypt flammability from space
Homegrown technology to monitor the flammability of eucalypt forests could be Australia's first satellite mission for Earth observation, if scientists can raise the funds.
