The $10 Banknote shows the Bramble wattle (Acacia victoriae) and the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita).
The Bramble Wattle ("Acacia victoriae"):
The Bramble wattle is commonly known as "gundabluie" or "bardi bush" and is a shrub-like tree native to Australia in the arid and semi-arid areas. It is generally found in alkaline soils including clayey alluvials, grey cracking clays and saline loams on flood-plains, alluvial flats, rocky hill-sides and ridges.
Animals such as birds and small mammals use the tree as protection. The seeds and foliage also offer a source of food to animals.
Mature Acacia victoriae grow into a shrub-like tree with multiple trunks, reaching a height of about 5 to 6 metres. It is able to survive severe drought conditions.
Flowering begins in August and continues till late December. During flowering, the branches get full clustered, yellowish and strong scented flowers.
The nitrogen-containing seeds, which are brown in colour are used in breads as well as ground up as a meal. They are a good source of protein.
The Sulphur Crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita):
The sulphur crested Cockatoo is a relatively large bird found in wooded habitats in Australia and New Guinea and some islands of Indonesia. Their population can grow into huge numbers, so much so, that they are sometimes considered as pests.
It is a highly intelligent bird, which is long-lived and can live over 70 years in captivity and about 40 years in the wild. Some cockatoos in captivity have been known to live to over 100 years.
Its International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Conservation status is of "LC" (Least Concern).
