National Eucalypt Day Walk - Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne (Vic) SOLD OUT
2026-03-22 13:00 - 14:30 UTC | Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Birdwood Ave, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia
Please note that the National Eucalypt Day Walk is now fully booked.
About 900 species and sub-species of eucalypt grow in Australia and have adapted to amazingly diverse habitats and climates.
These environments include deserts, snowy mountains, coasts, rainforest edges, monsoonal areas and many places in-between. Unsurprisingly, their leaves, flowers, fruits, bark and height vary enormously, ranging from two-metre high shrubs to towering forest giants of 100m.
Come and learn more about these fascinating trees and celebrate National Eucalypt Day by joining these guided tours which explore the eucalypt collection at Melbourne Gardens.

City of Port Phillip Eucalypt Walk Port Melbourne (Vic)
2026-03-23, 2026-04-27, 2026-05-25, 2026-06-22, 2026-07-27, 2026-08-24 | 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.

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
Landcare SJ invites community members, landholders, artists, storytellers, and nature lovers to take part in a creative, participatory exploration of two rare local eucalypts: Eucalyptus marginata subsp. elegantella and Eucalyptus mundijongensis.
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.
Who This Is For

Landholders and gardeners
Artists, photographers, and storytellers
Nature lovers and adventure seekers
People curious about the land they live on—whether lifelong locals or newcomers

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. The aquatic root mat is endangered due to declining rainfall caused by climate change.
Participants will experience a deeper connection with trees in the landscape by learning how to identify them from growth habit, leaves, bark, and flowers. They will go down within the heart of the forest to experience the connection between trees and groundwater first-hand, and learn about the impacts of climate change on forests and groundwater.

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.
