In an effort to deal with the high number of requests to VicFlora we have moved the maps into a new subdomain. If the maps do not work, it might be that your browser is still trying to connect to the old map server. Clearing the browser's cache should clear that up. We hope that this change, together with other changes we made in the last few weeks, will bring about a positive change in user experience for VicFlora. Thanks to all our users for hanging in there.
