The Lone Pine is of special significance to Warrnambool. It is a living link to ANZAC, Galipoli and the battle of Lone Pine. It has been the centre of commemorative services for almost 100 years. This tree is of historical significance, being one of the four original trees raised from the 'Lone Pine' in Gallipoli. Sergeant Keith McDowell of the 23rd Battalion A.I.F. brought a pine cone back to Australia, from where the Lone Pine once stood. Upon his return he gave the cone to Mrs Emma Gray (aunt of his wife) of Grasmere who, after 10 years, successfully grew four seedlings from the cone. One was dedicated in Wattle Park, Burwood, home ground of the 24th Batallion on 7 May 1933, another was dedicated to the 24th at The Shrine on 11 June 1933. The third was planted at The Sisters Memorial Hall, Terang, on 18 June 1933. The Warrnambool specimen was planted on 21 January 1934. Only this tree and the one at Wattle Park Survive.
The tree is a fine example with a single trunk and attractive crown.
