Statement of Significance

The bunya bunya (at Pine Winds) is significant to the Cardinia Shire because of its links with the early farming in the area and the ornamental planting associated with the house gardens of these farms. This property and the tree appears to be linked with Thomas D. Scholes who owned it in the 1880s. Such farm properties were typical in many parts of the shire last century.

This tree is also significant for its comparative age and rarity, judged among other plantings in the shire and the added potential to interpret the former house site historically (now replaced with a new house).
