Looking at the planting ceremony are (from left); Emeritus Professor Ian Beveridge (Steward, University House), Mr Colin Steele (University Librarian and Fellow of University House), Mrs Kath Wellman (Curator of Grounds, ANU), Lady Hancock, Emeritus Professor Ralph Elliott (Master of University House).
