Re-allocate ea_SB10 to<br />

Group 128; new Group<br />

311 for sites on Wallarah<br />

Peninsula.<br />

One outlier in the north – ea_SB10.<br />

South of Gosford – there is some Blackbutt down in this<br />

section – Robert Payne.<br />

Wallarah Peninsula does not contain Blackbutt – there<br />

is plenty of sites out on the Wallarah Peninsula – Steve<br />

Bell.<br />

There is plenty of Blackbutt down on the Central Coast<br />

but it is not picked up in this group – Steve Bell.<br />

Wallarah Peninsula is quite a unique community so this<br />

may need to be taken out – Steve Bell; I suspect that the<br />

Rp sites and Munmorah data is blurring things in this<br />

community.<br />

Y 1 Site north<br />

of main<br />

distribution<br />

N x Wallarah Peninsula<br />

sites could be a<br />

separate community<br />

– Steve Bell.<br />

25 Blackbutt / Turpentine / Forest<br />

Oak shrub / fern open forest<br />

Detailed notes Group<br />

N Given review panel<br />

comments and fact<br />

that all sites seem to be<br />

closely related to each<br />

other which does suggest<br />

obsever bias. Re-allocate<br />

to nearest group based<br />

on group centroids which<br />

is Group 7.<br />

N x Requires checking. N One observer – Doug Binns.<br />

If observer was Simon Cropper then there could be a<br />

problem: 1) Not a local (from Melbourne); 2) Struggled<br />

with the IDs; and 3) Did not include species that he<br />

could not ID – Steve Bell.<br />

Group could be distinct but requires checking – all in<br />

agreeance.<br />

27 Spotted Gum / Grey Ironbark (E.<br />

paniculata) / Tallowwood open<br />

forest<br />

172<br />

Y I don’t see that I can<br />

do much based on the<br />

statistics and geography;<br />

so may just keep as is.<br />

Community exists in Travis’s work but under a different<br />

community name – Travis Peake.<br />

There was a cluster of sites that could possibly not<br />

belong to this group, however, this would require field<br />

work to confirm – Travis Peake.<br />

Most of the spotted gum sites were joined to the<br />

southern community in Travis’s work – Travis Peake.<br />

N Y ? Cluster of sites –<br />

Travis Peake.<br />

31 White Mahogany / Spotted<br />

Gum / Grey Myrtle shrubby open<br />

forest of the Central and Lower<br />

Hunter Valley<br />

Y Statistically it makes more<br />

sense to merge groups<br />

225, 226 and 227 into one<br />

large Smooth-barked<br />

apple group and keep<br />

Group 34 separate as a<br />

small near-coastal group.<br />

N This group could be merged in with either groups 225<br />

or 227.<br />

34 Smooth-barked apple N x Merge with either<br />

groups 225 or 227.<br />

Y Lne11029 reallocated<br />

to Group 52; lne1030<br />

unallocated; keep this as<br />

a separate group.<br />

There is a variant in here that might be worth<br />

recognising as a separate community – Steve Lewer<br />

(read Michael and Doug’s notes).<br />

Lne11029 and lne1030 are outliers – Travis Peake.<br />

N x Y 2 Site numbers<br />

lne11029 and<br />

lne1030 are<br />

outliers – Travis<br />
