I saw your list and noted that A. campestre was pre-Canberra. Lindsay Pryor's book 'Trees in Canberra' lists Pistachia chinensis for Hartog St Griffith; there is at least one left but the others must have been replaced with A. capestre and A. monspessulanum some time between 1960 and 2001 (which is the date for my other list of trees).

Thanks Mike, for my PhD I collated all woody ornamental exotic planting records in Canberra up to 1980. I found records of 21 different species of Acer being planted in Canberra of which Acer campestre was ranked 13th in terms of abundance of plantings. Acer Campestre is the best fit of the 21 species for this sighting and I am therefor happy to identify it as such

That's a good video but shows the leaves larger, more deeply lobed with sub-lobes. The underside of the leaves and the fruit match. However his other video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scCfq6yppQE shows field maple leaves in winter which are small and 3-5 lobed, so there is some variability. The sole A. campestre planted in Forest 22 at the Arboretum has small deeply lobed wavy leaves. The Maple Society key gives "All lobe apices obtuse to acute. . A. campestre" so pointed lobes is a furphy. Definitely not Acer buergerianum planted in Forest 73. I have more photos showing size, shape and underneath but would need to put them as an additional sighting.
