Well I find it impossible to grow these here in Melbourne. Also, I think
Don covers the situation rather well.
There does not appear to be much that can be done.
Im all for stopping stupid goverenment rules that create problems like
your rust.
Impoted fruit is dangerous in our unique country. We never had these
problems once upon a time... :-(

Hi
I would try contacting the site www.djsway.com.au they are frangipani
experts in/around Tweeds head, they are in the current Better Homes &
Garden.
cheers

You are careful to not wet the leaves when you water it are you?
While waiting for better advice, have you tried the milk + water spray?
One part of full cream milk to 8 parts water should do. Try it on the
leaves of one of your frangis to test whether it's going to work for you.
Apply fortnightly. Or weekly if you are really keen. :-)

I suppose there is such a thing as some frangis being more prone to
rust than others.
