11809-17503 Norfolk Island Abutilon (Abutilon julianae) Derek Greenwood with the extinct abutilon he rediscovered. This small shrub was endemic to Norfolk Island and nearby Philip Island, but was thought extinct. On Philip Island it disappeared around 1805. However, after more than a hundred years, the control of feral rabbits in the mid 1980's resulted in Derek re-discovering a few surviving plants on the cliffs of the island.

11811-90002 Norfolk Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) a lone tree surrounded by the eroded landscape of Mauve Gully, showing tuff and basalt (layered) surfaces prior to restoration planting. During the 18th and 19th Century the island was severely degraded by the effects of pest animals including pigs, goats and rabbits introduced during that time. While the pigs and goats were shot out or died out, rabbits remained until a consistent eradication programme was carried out in the last quarter of the 20th century. Phillip Island, Norfolk Group *
