Propagating the future with the rarest Tasmanian Eucalyptus. - Spring Bay Mill (Tas)
2022-03-25
Most people living in Tasmania would never have heard, let alone seen the Morrisby gum, Eucalyptus morrisbyi. It’s one of the rarest trees in the world and certainly the rarest Eucalypt in Tasmania. Growing near the state capital Hobart, it has been in gradual decline since the first colonists arrived in Tasmania.
The Spring Bay Mill on Tasmania’s East Coast has a mission to care for the natural environment. Once the home of the largest Eucalypt woodchip Mill in the world, it is now a unique environmental retreat for celebrations, weddings, entertainment, and events. Part of the Mill’s extensive landscape restoration is an initiative to establish a new colony of these wonderful small Eucalypts on site. This will form part of the Mills new Eucalyptus refugia with 20 young Morrisby gum trees being planted during the Eucalypt Day week.
The plantings will commemorate 2022 National Eucalypt Day.

Art of Flow Workshop: Leaves and the Spaces Between (Online)
2022-03-19 11:00 - 13:00 (AEDT)
Leaves and the spaces between…by Gabbi Lancaster
This free online painting workshop will be streamed via Facebook Live.
Saturday 19th March
11am – 1pm
Sydney time, AEDT
If you can’t attend the live session you will be able to watch the replay whenever it suits you.
Using whatever paint and paper you already have (with a simple suggested materials list in case).
To prepare for the workshop, you will be asked to wander outdoors in parks, gardens or the bush and collect leaves, branches, take photos… sit and observe, soak up the colours, shapes, smells, feelings, sounds of the eucalypt environment.
The workshop will begin with expressive painting all over the page considering the colours and all the sensations of eucalyptus.
You will need a sprig or 2 of eucalyptus leaves or a great view of a tree… We will be looking at the spaces between the leaves (the negative spaces) to mark out a design and block out the spaces with opaque paint. This will leave the leaves as the beautiful free and colourful layer that we started with.
Many beginners are amazed by what they can achieve and for more experienced artists this is a fun and dynamic way to explore the skills they already have and try something new…

Eucalyptusdom - Powerhouse Museum (NSW)
2021-06-25 - 2022-05-01
“From Australia’s pursuit of economic botany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to the arts and crafts movement that began around the time of Federation, through to contemporary environmentalism – the Powerhouse Collection reflects changing attitudes towards and understanding of Australia’s iconic gum trees.
Eucalyptusdom is an exhibition of objects from the extensive Powerhouse Collection alongside new commissions by creative practitioners in the fields of design, architecture, film, applied arts, writing and performance. Taking its title from a 1930s text by Edward F Swain, one of Australia’s earliest conservationists, Eucalyptusdom weaves together community-engaged projects, industry partnerships and cross-cultural and intergenerational collaborations exploring how our changing relationship to eucalypts reflects a shifting comprehension of Country and place.”

Building resilience in coastal white gum habitat - Orford (Tas)
2021-04-11
A local community initiative
Coastal white gum, Eucalyptus viminalis forests are regarded as endangered habitats in Tasmania. They are also critical in supporting some of Australia’s most endangered birds including the swift parrot and the critically endangered 48-spotted pardalote, Pardalotus quadragintus. Both these birds have unique and very specialised relationships with White Gums. It is imperative that coastal communities not only preserve their existing White Gums, but to also ensure that there are plenty of young trees to replace those that are being lost though human encroachment and old age.
A local Tasmania East Coast initiative being supported by the Spring Bay Mill and The Orford Community Group volunteers will aim to plant a range of young, provenance white gums to develop new understory populations. The initial planting area will be located along the popular tourist stop of Raspins Beach Conservation Reserve, in Orford.
The plantings will commemorate 2021 National Eucalypt Day.
