The scent put out by this flowering tree across the street from my house is sweet and incredibly strong. I'm sure someone out there knows what kind of tree it is. I don't.

I can't contribute to the identity of this lovely tree, although there is one here in my great grandfather's old garden, it is suffering from advanced age

but still blooms on cue. It's certainly not native to Australia, when the garden was planted (circa 1880) they imported many exotic trees from the UK and from India.

Our specimen has done well here for a very long time, despite the harsh climate, so I don't think it could be a lilac of any sort.

Lovely photo though, it makes one want to walk into it and smell the flowers......

Thank you, Euston, Paul and Dee. I did some internet research and was finally able to identify this as a Japanese Tree Lilac, a very hardy species which would explain their survival in Dee's harsh climate as well as our own.
