The tallest Spotted Gum at Wallaby Gully. At around 35m in height this is one of few old growth trees in the area. The top has blown out many years ago leaving an excellent hollow for someone to live in. The spotted gum forests around Cessnock are now largely protected after 200 years of plundering. If we look after them they will be old growth just like this in 50 to 100 years.
