Statement of Significance

Remnant native vegetation
Outstanding size.

This Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis)probably predates European settlement, as very few large trees remain in nearby the Wombat State Forest following clearing during the goldmining period and timber harvesting. The tree is unusually tall for this forest. Some similar large diameter trees grow along the roadside between Daylesford and Glenlyon, but they are not as tall as this specimen.
This area of farmland was probably cleared in the 1960s and there are now regrowth trees on the site.
