Default Drought resistant plants

Darren Wilson wrote:

I've noticed a lot of trees and shrubs starting to die around Sydney
as a result of the drought. Interestingly, the plants that are dying
first are natives. Eucalypts, Lilli Pilli, Grevillea, Callistemon,
Wattle are dying in their hundreds. Bamboo is also dying off
(hooray!).

Plants like Camellias, deciduous trees, bouganvillea and conifers
seem to be handling the lack of water.

Is the same thing happening elsewhere?


My wattle are still looking healthy. Same with the grevillea's. But,
like you said, The camellia's are loving the dry spell....{south
