Statement of Significance

The large jarrah tree and saw pit are important historically as a monument to the forest/timber industry that established the hills communities and the early days of the colony. It has very high social, historic and aesthetic significance for the Shire and the State as an illustration close to the city of what the early timber industry demanded of its workers. The size and scale of the tree has landscape significance and the potential to raise community awareness of the importance of our native forests environmentally and historically, illustrating the magnitude of what both the trees and the original forest must have been.
