Beech Forest & Redwood Trees

We travelled to see the Californian Redwood trees at the behest of Steigs and glad we did as they are such an amazing tree…so straight and tall.
I have included some extra information below:

Redwoods of the Otway Ranges is a small sheltered grove of Coast Redwoods, Sequoia sempervirens, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Beech Forest in the Otway Ranges in southwestern Victoria.

The trees, known by some as Californian Redwoods, were one of many conifer species planted experimentally at different locations in what was to become the fledgling Aire Valley Plantation.

The trees, planted in 1936 by the Forests Commission Victoria, were initially slow to establish but have thrived and grown to a height of over 60 metres (200 ft). Measurements in 2004 show the trees have the potential to reach as tall as their Californian counterparts if left undisturbed from bushfire, pests and disease, or trampling by tourism.Read more
