Statement of Significance

Why is it significant?

This Quercus Robur, an English Oak tree is located in the residential garden of the historic house "Roseville" in Flinders, Victoria, which was built in 1896 by the telegraph operator for the Cable Station, Grigriy Day. The present power company continually trims the tree to free the nearby electricity lines. This tree would benefit from the relocation of the adjacent power lines underground to allow the tree to return to a balanced shape.
