This is the tallest tree known in NSW, and it is a 'Flooded' gum (Eucalyptus

Grandis) located about 100 metres east of Stoney Creek Road. The tree is 84.3

metres high and measures 2.7 metres through at breast height. It is estimated

to be about 400 years old and would have been quite a large tree when cook

sailed up the nearby coast.

The 'Flooded' gum is a smooth barked eucalyptus (gum) that regenerates freely

when disturbed by storm, fire, or logging. The area around the grandis (Wang

Wauk State Forest) was logged in 1977 leaving immature trees as a source of

seed. The regeneration has occurred naturally.
