Bearing the name of the tallest tree in NSW and over 400 years old, there is no doubt that the trip was well worth it! Looking at the photos does not even give you a fraction of the impressiveness comparing to standing right in front of it. It might not shock you as a sequoia, but definitely worth a look. The amenities on site are pretty good.

There is room at the end for parking, with a short board walk to the tree viewing area. There are 2 picnic tables and a toilet - be aware it is a pit toilet with no hand...
