We stumbled across this while exploring Tapin Tops National Park - NSW largest Water Gum. It was a monster too, a really tall tree, not like the regular gnarly, twisted river gums I am used to seeing hanging over the water.
So many of these 'big' trees and their signs now seem neglected. This one was right beside the road but down an embankment and not obvious from the nearby walking pad. It is in State Forest but the other side of the creek is National Park. Although the tree's presence was vaguely mentioned in the parks brochure there is no signage to it, it is kind of hidden, and the sign is obscure. Had a similar experience with NSW's tallest River Oaks which are on the Allyn River in State Forest on the edge of Barrington Tops National Park. Would love to hear of, or see photos of, other obscure signposted trees from time past if anyone has them.
