I didn't know that this existed. I visited today and uploaded a video. It is well worth visiting.

Good stuff David. I didn't know that this existed either. If you are interested there is another forest of Sequoia sempervirens not too far from Hopetoun Falls in the Otways (Beech Forest area) which was planted in 1938. I haven't been there myself but have heard it's a magical place.

That one is very prettyful. It's just a pity there's no waterfalls nearby.

There's another small copse of them on the Yarra behind the school at Warburton and another in the Arboretum not far from Woolrich Lookout on Mt. Dandenong.

Here is the National Trust citation for this copse.

Also, the tallest tree is 55 metres tall.

The area isn't worth visiting if you like waterfalls :wink:
