History

This tree represents the establishment and development of the community in the early 20th century. The size of the tree indicates it was planted at this time when the settlement was being established.

Previously a row of dwellings was located in the vicinity of the tree between the workshops and School Road. Families living in this group of dwellings included the Tippetts, Wellingtons and Cattachs.

The tree survived the January 2016 Yarloop/Harvey/Waroona Fire.
