| You won't see a lot of everlastings but the bush flowers are appearing like varieties of banksias and wattles. |
| For botany lessons, we crossed the road into the botanical gardens, there to examine the leaves of ash, oak, elm, plane, pine but no wattles, gums or banksias. |
| Some banksias, currijong, and stringy-bark were noticed to-day, the latter is not a common timber in the northern districts. |
| These plants include eucalypts and tea-trees, banksias and grevilleas, boronias, native fuchsias, wattles and peas. |
| There are a great many flowering bushes such as the distinctively Australian banksias, and red-tailed skinks are often seen sunning themselves on the rocks. |
| Some of the younger gums and sheoaks, the small heath trees and banksias, browned and gave up their ghosts and stood there. |
