User's notes

Several Eucalypts had patches cut from the bark. Would this be some kind of Indigenous cultural thing? Or just vandalism? I’ve never seen this done anywhere before. Sorry I was unable to get a leaf photo to assist with tree ID as they were all too high to reach.

@MichaelMulvaney not sure about those marks on the trees. With regard to the ID, wrinkles on the bark suggest Scribbly gum to me

ID of tree is correct this looks like removal of bark for bark painting or perhaps it is deeper and for wooden utensil. I Think this part of MT jerrabomberra may once have been vacant crown land now claimed (and I think owned) by the local Aboriginal Land Council
