User's notes

Not sure what this was. This approx 3m tall kurrajong was very sickly looking but it had all these outcrops of white fingery things along every branch and even on some of the leaves. Not seen it before. Most of the leaves had fallen off. Found similar pics eventually on ACT naturemapr.
