Close to 100 Golden Wattle plants, self seeding from original plantings made under the direction of Walter Burley Griffin for white foliage/flower/trunk plants to be planted on Mugga Mugga during early 1920s. Perhaps the earliest example of establishing populations of rare ACT plants in new locations, though I don't know the source of the seeds used in the Weston plantings.
