User's notes

*Santalum album* lone tree, on the edge of the river bank vegetation; beside the track that separates this river bank remaining forest from the historically bulldozed forest now cane paddocks. Officially regarded as an Au indigenous species in the NT at least (aka Au native), but well known and much more common in India —the classical Tropical Indian Sandalwood species – not to get confused with the other Au species naturally more common (or were so) in their respective parts of this continent.
