Known as the magnificent Elder of the Forest, this tree is botanically named Eucalyptus teriticornis and is commonly called a Blue Gum. It is between 300 and 400 years old. It measures 1.85 metres at chest height and is three times greater in diameter than any other Blue Gum in this remnant forest.
Why is it important?
The many branch hollows, formed over decades, create homes for a myriad of bird species, mammals and invertebrates.
