Statement of Significance

The two large oak trees and nearby Queensland Box have local significance for their associations with George Launder, Secretary of the Eight Hour Pioneers Association, who is thought to have planted it when he farmed the site in the early 1890s. This site is also of historical significance as the location of a cannery run during the First World War period by James Duncan Couper, orchardist. (Criterion A4, H1)
