Not only a beautiful avenue of old trees which gives Lilydale's Main Street much of its character, but a symbol of the co-operation and community spirit of the people of Lilydale in the late nineteenth century, and a living memory of a notable day and of many once prominent citizens of the Lillydale Shire. (Tansley, 1978)

This avenue comprises the beautiful and healthy old oak trees lining the Main Street of Lilydale township from Cave Hill Road to the railway line. (Tansley, 1978)
