Ozothamnus cupressoides

This is one of those instances where the rare listing on Naturemapr is a little bit misleading. Ozothamnus cupressoides was once thought to be quite rare in the ACT (recorded at only 3 sites), although i must admit recent records suggest that it is significantly more common that initally suspected. It has always been reasonbly commonly and widely distributed throughout Kosciusko NP. The name Kerosene bush is derived exactly how you've envisiged; the plant is highly aromatic and oily which lends very well to starting fires. :)

Although rare in incidence apparently, there is a field of the bush just past the one in my photos and they continue to appear in number along the escarpment. The trail starts just east of Kiandra which was the base for early settlement. Given the common name , kerosene bush, I wonder if they were used to fuel household fires or similar and encouraged to grow in the area

OK, I realise it is a weedy area, and I have not seen this species often. And where I did see it on Mount Majura it was about this time of year and not near a shoreline, but it was a much wetter season. Thanks for explaining its modus operandi.

that area has a lot of non-native species, and it would be a major weeding exercise to reduce the shoreline area to just native species. I left it: its non-invasive. This is an end-of-season species. It gets noticed because it is so tall, but not if cattle are present. It is habitat restricted, favouring a drying habitat. Combination of soil conditions and season requirements mean it may not always be present.
