The rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia and Tasmania. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. Several taxa traditionally listed as subspecies of the rainbow lorikeet are now treated as separate species (see Taxonomy).
Rainbow lorikeets have been introduced to Perth, Western Australia, Auckland, New Zealand and Hong Kong.

Corymbia calophylla, Marri, Red Gum
The Marri is closely related to the Red-flowering gum (Corymbia ficifolia) but is generally much larger, with a thicker trunk, white or pink flowers and larger nuts (fruits). It is found through varying regions in the southwest of WA and as such can tolerate wide-ranging soil types and sites. Flowers arrive in late summer often in profuse and showy displays. The Marri has been used to great effect around Perth; its mature size suiting its use in parks, golf courses and other open spaces.
