Statement of Significance

Curious growth form

Known as the 'Immortal Red Gum', this venerable treehas at one time fallen over and continued to grow with the main branches now forming the canopy. The tree has re-rooted at several contact points and the massive branch structure exhibits gnarled, serpentine limbs, giving the tree and almost prehistoric quality. Clearly visible from the road the tree has unfortunately been the target of illegal woodcutters who have removed a number of live branches without theowners' permission.
