Acacia suaveolens
Sweet scented wattle
draws it name from the small clumps of flowers that occur during winter and early spring. In its native habitat it is one of the earliest flowering of the wattles.Currently in full flower across the Range. Image taken in a Mapleton garden.
It is common in the bushland surrounding Sydney and occurs from southern Queensland down the east coast into Tasmania. It also has populations on several off shore islands, the Grampians and in the border region of South Australia and Victoria. It inhabits coastal areas of low altitude ranging from
secondary dunes up to an altitude of 400m.
The phyllodes are without hairs (glabrous) and are usually covered in fine white powder (glaucous).
Like many other acacias it has a comparatively short life span with shrubs rarely living longer than 15 years. Frequently only 3 plus years. Look out for borers.
Flowering will usually occur 2 years after germination. The flowerheads are usually in groups of between 6 and 10. The flowerheads and seed pods provide a food source for a variety of birds and invertebrates.
GREVILLEA ‘DOROTHY GORDON’
A large compact shrub that grows to 3 metres high and 2 metres wide, making it great for informal hedging and screening. It has large two toned flowers of pink and beautifully contrasting dark burgundy, and they make good cut flowers. It has flushes of flowers throughout the year, as well as bronzed new foliage growth, and is a magnet to nectar eating birds and mammals. Drought tolerant and does well on a wide range of soil types. Performs best in a sunny spot with well drained soil, but can take light shade. Feed with a good native fertiliser in spring.
Flowers for 11 months of the year across the Range.

THE MAPLETON RSL SUB-BRANCH
The Mapleton RSL sub-branch has been working with Sunshine Coast Council to upgrade the Memorial Park. The approach to the cenotaph is slightly sloping and difficult for some residents to approach and lay wreaths, and in addition the cenotaph only acknowledges WWI and WWII residents.
The upgrade will include a flat concreted area to the front of the cenotaph and low sandstone walls and have brass plaques commemorating peace keeping and other deployments post WWII. Works will commence in the Park in the next 2-3 weeks with the intent of having stage 1 finished by Veterans Day on 18 August and all works completed by Remembrance Day in November.
Anyone with any questions can call Matt Dykes sub-branch President on 0427263595.
