Visit the Visitor Centre while in the Gardens to pick up a flyer and map of the walk or download one here
You’ll learn how to distinguish the three kinds of eucalypt and find out about the variety of leaves, fruits, bark and more.
Eucalypts are a defining feature of much of the Australian landscape and an essential part of Australian culture. They dominate the trees of Australia and provide habitat and food for many native animals.
Of the more than 850 eucalypt species known, almost all are native only to Australia. Some species have a wide geographic distribution; others are extremely restricted in their natural habitat and need conservation.
The initiation and the refreshing of the Eucalypt Discovery Walk has been proudly supported by Eucalypt Australia.
Our CEO Linda Baird recommends a special visit to the Eucalyptus scoparia – Wallangara White Gum – number 8 on the list – a massive example of what is normally a small to medium sized tree.

Mooloolah River Landcare: Eucalypt Field ID with Marc Russell (Qld)
2026-03-14 09:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Ewen Maddock Dam, Sunshine Coast, Connection Road, Mooloolah Valley, QLD, 4553, Australia
Mooloolah River Landcare is proud to have special guest host Marc Russell leading a Eucalypt Field ID Workshop this March! Learn about our local native Eucalypt species and techniques to identify them. Marc will share information of his favourite Eucalypt habitat trees and explain the importance of trees for ecosystem resilience. Marc has an incredible bank of knowledge on native plants – this talk is a must for anyone interested in Australian trees, flora or fauna. Your newfound theory knowledge will be put into practice, as Marc then leads a walk amongst the surrounding bushland to identify species growing in their native habitat.

He has a strong passion for environmental education, community involvement and plant / animal interactions (including humans).

Pine Rivers Koala Care Habitat Generation Bundalong (Qld)
2026-03-15 07:30 - 10:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Bundalong YMCA Camp, 64 Byrnes Rd, Joyner, QLD, 4500, Australia
This is an event to celebrate National Eucalypt Day. Our habitat working bee is on 15th March at YMCA Bundalong Camp, Byrnes Rd, 7.30am-10.30am. Look for the bushcare sign on the right-hand side by the gate.
Planting will be dependent on weather as the ground needs to have some rain before more new plants can be put in. Over 200 native plants went into the ground on 15th Feb at our last working bee. There will be some planting, followed by maintenance around these previous plantings. (Article for 15th Feb). Wire mesh was placed around the eucalypts to discourage the local macropods (wallabies). Any plant protection covers may need hand weeding. If it’s been dry, we will hand water from 5lt containers.
This habitat site is so important for the area due to all the work in and around Youngs Crossing Rd and the new bridge installation. The road widening and straightening has meant the removal of huge established eucalypt trees, which has seen a lot of the wildlife pushed up towards the corridor between Byrnes Rd and Dayboro Rd. Please come and join us.
What to Bring
Hat, water, closed-in shoes, sun-safe clothes (long trousers, long-sleeve shirt), bug spray, gardening gloves if you have them and your family and friends. All other equipment supplied.

City of Port Phillip Eucalypt Walk Port Melbourne (Vic)
2026-03-23 | Fishermans Bend Community Centre, Corner Dunstan parade and Centre avenue, Port Melbourne, Vic, 3207, Australia
This Monday 23 March is National Eucalypt Day, and we’re celebrating by inviting the community to discover one of Australia’s most iconic tree groups through a new Eucalypts of Port Melbourne walking map.

This new map guides residents and visitors on a short, self‑guided walk through Port Melbourne, highlighting a diverse range of eucalypt species growing in streets, reserves and nature strips.
Along the way, walkers can learn how to identify eucalypts by observing their leaves, bark, flowers and distinctive gumnuts – and gain a deeper appreciation for the vital role these trees play in our urban forest.
Discover eucalypts close to home
Eucalypts are a defining feature of Australia’s landscape, and Port Phillip is home to an impressive variety – from smooth-barked Sydney Red Gums, perfumed lemon-scented gums and the colourful Red Flowering Gums loved by local lorikeets.
The walking map leads participants through areas including Garden City Reserve, Barak Road and Howe Parade. There are clearly marked stops where different species can be observed. Each stop includes information about what to look for, helping walkers build their confidence in identifying trees they may not normally notice.
Whether you’re a long‑time local, a student, or simply curious about nature, the walk offers an easy and engaging way to connect with the natural environment.
Why eucalypts matter in our city
Eucalypts play an especially important role in Port Phillip’s urban forest, which includes all trees and vegetation across both public and private land.
Well adapted to Australia’s climate, eucalypts are resilient, fast-growing and highly effective at cooling our streets and open spaces. Their shade helps reduce urban heat, making neighbourhoods more comfortable during warmer months. Mature eucalypts also provide essential habitat, shelter and food for birds, insects and other wildlife, supporting local biodiversity.
For Aboriginal people, eucalypts have strong cultural importance. They have been used and cared for over tens of thousands of years and remain an important part of Australia’s natural and cultural landscape today.
Australia is home to around 1,000 species of eucalypts – more than anywhere else on Earth. By planting, protecting and learning about eucalypts in our city, we’re helping ensure this remarkable botanical legacy continues into the future.
Celebrate National Eucalypt Day
National Eucalypt Day is a chance to celebrate these valuable trees and the many benefits they bring to our city.
Download the Eucalypts of Port Melbourne walking map, take a walk, and discover the diversity of eucalypts growing right outside your door.
For more information about the walking map or the City of Port Phillip’s urban forest, contact the Urban Forest team at greening@portphillip.vic.gov.au or 03 9209 6777.

Finding Our Local Eucalypts: Stories Written in the Landscape (WA)
2026-03-23 08:00 - 2026-04-11 17:00 UTC | Landcare SJ, Various, Mundijong, WA, 6123, Australia

This experience blends citizen science, cultural storytelling, and emotional connection to place, transforming the act of finding a tree into a deeper encounter with Country, history, and identity.
Why These Trees Matter
These eucalypts are deeply embedded in the landscape between Perth, Serpentine, and the southern Swan Coastal Plain.
E. marginata subsp. elegantella is a restricted form of Jarrah found nowhere else.
E. mundijongensis is locally endemic, shaped by soil, fire, and time.
Their rarity makes every confirmed record an act of care for the future.
The Experience
Participants are invited to walk, observe, listen, and document.
The event includes:
Guided bush walks and self-led explorations
Hands-on identification workshops
Indigenous perspectives, acknowledging eucalypts as part of living Country, including their cultural uses, meanings, and relationships
Reflections on how eucalypts shape Australian identity, from ancient knowledge systems to migrant experiences of learning a new landscape
Participants may engage through:
Photography and mapping
Sketching, journaling, or sound recording
Short creative reflections (words, images, or voice)
Find a Tree – Receive a Reward
To encourage discovery, Landcare SJ is offering rewards for verified records (unknown) of either species within the Serpentine–Jarrahdale area.
To participate:
Submit clear photographs
Provide accurate location details
Share any local, cultural, or personal knowledge connected to the site
All records will be verified by experienced botanists or project partners. Seed collection will only occur under appropriate permits and ethical guidelines.

The Secret Life of our local Eucalypts - Bullsbrook (WA)
2026-03-25 10:00 - 13:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Ethel Warren Community Centre, Maroubra Avenue, Bullsbrook, WA, 6084, Australia
Give a Hoot Bullsbrook is an inclusive, collaborative event that welcomes everyone, regardless of age, background or ability. By centring eucalypt trees—the quiet giants of the landscape—as teachers, shelters and lifelines, the event aims to foster a deeper sense of stewardship and belonging. Through curiosity, storytelling and hands-on experience, Give a Hoot invites the community to not only admire these trees, but to understand why protecting them is essential for the future of local wildlife and the identity of Bullsbrook itself.
Give a Hoot Bullsbrook is an annual community-led environmental education event held at a community centre in Bullsbrook, a north-eastern suburb of Perth that sits at the meeting point of urban growth and remaining bushland. This peri-urban/rural community is still, in parts, enveloped by significant eucalypt species including marri, wandoo, powderbark wandoo, flooded gum and flowering ficifolia. These trees form the ecological backbone of the district, yet many are being progressively removed as land is cleared for new housing estates. At the same time, Bullsbrook is experiencing rapid social change, with new Australians and urban-based families moving to the area seeking a “country” lifestyle—often without a full understanding of the local environment they are now part of.
Few residents know the names of these eucalyptus species, let alone the critical role they play in supporting wildlife, regulating climate, providing habitat, and sustaining biodiversity. Give a Hoot Bullsbrook was created to gently but powerfully address this gap in knowledge. The event encourages the entire community to pause, look at their own environmental footprint, and reflect on how everyday choices impact the natural systems that surround them.
The focus will be on helping children and families understand the vital relationship between mature eucalypt trees and the animals that depend on them—particularly hollow-dependent species—while reinforcing the importance of preserving old, mature trees alongside ongoing community tree-planting efforts that occur during the winter rainfall period. Through meaningful, place-based learning, Give a Hoot aims to support families to better understand, value and care for the eucalypt species that shape the Bullsbrook landscape, now and into the future.
Three key eucalyptus-focused activities will feature:
• A guided eucalypt walk exhibit designed specifically for children, where children can see, touch and compare local eucalypt specimens, learning how to recognise them, what each ones special trait is and why each matters.
• A dedicated storytime space, where children will be read Hollow is a Home, paired with the presence of a live local animal species that relies on eucalypt hollows,and a creative activity that is focussed on our local eucalypts – creating a memorable, place-based learning experience.
• The creation of a localised self-guided trail map highlighting nearby publicly accessible bushland and foreshore walkways, including magnificent flooded gums and marri trees—some hundreds of years old—located on a constructed brook walkway. Although easily accessible, this area remains largely unknown to local families. The trail map will encourage continued engagement beyond the event day, empowering families to explore, learn and connect with their local environment independently.

Above and Below: the Calgardup Cave Tree Trail (WA)
2026-03-28 | Calgardup Cave, Caves Road, Forest Grove, Margaret River, WA, 6286, Australia
Visitors will participate in a self-guided walk along a 500 metre trail through the coastal woodland above Calgardup Cave, using a laminated booklet with above and below map overlays and eucalypt identification material. The woodland features Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor), Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) and Marri (Corymbia calophylla).
Kids will be given a tree treasure map to colour in. They can then go down into the cave to look for tree roots underground, and try to guess which roots belong to the trees on the trail above.
Calgardup Cave is one of a number of publicly accessible caves in the Margaret River Region. It hosts an aquatic root mat community of macrofauna, and is listed as a Threatened Ecological Community. Trees above the cave send roots down into the underground waterway, creating an ecosystem with a community unique to this particular cave.
