Statement of Significance

Possibly planted around World War One, the Waterhousea floribunda specimen from the former school plantation is significant to the Cardinia Shire because it is a rare and large example, judged within the Shire's public plantations. The tree (with the more typical pines) provides evidence of the school site and is associated with the development of early landscape in the Tynong township.
