Visit http://www.outbreak.gov.au & search for "Giant Pine scale" (worse case scenario) An outbreak started in 2014 in Vic & S.A (found around Adelaide suburbs) - supposedly eradicated in S.A late last year by the Dept of Primary Industries destroying all known infected trees. If it is you must report.
:fc: you've just got some wooly aphids

Adelgids. Kind of like aphids. wash off with a strong fine water spray then spray with insecticide.

Photo is not very clear by the time it reached here. I can hardly see buds let alone any white powder :lost:
