This stand of ancient old growth represents the origins of the Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests. With less than 1% of old growth left these extant individuals provide insight into the magnificence that this landscape nurtured for millions of years. A product of around 40 million years of evolution the Mountain Ash Forests are complex and fragile ecosystems that are now critically endangered. This site is accessible by vehicle and is a wonderful place to stand in awe of the magnificent Mountain Ash. No facilities exist here but a grassy section amongst the Mountain Ash provides a perfect place to picnic. If you're feeling adventurous the tanglefoot loop is accessible from here and provides an immersive 10km round trip through Mountain Ash Forest and Cool Temperate Rainforest.
