Geocache Description:


Mandurah's Significant Trees

Quite by accident we found a register maintained by Mandurah City Council of significant trees in the area. Some of these trees are icons around Mandurah, others are unique examples of their species, and others are just magnificent trees, but all are worth taking a look at.
We hope you enjoy finding these natural wonders.

Flooded Gum

This species, with its dense spreading crown and blue-green leaves is regarded as a valuable shade tree in grazing areas and is often seen retained in paddocks.  The species is commonly found along streams and wetlands but it is likely that this tree has been planted in this location between the 2 Red River Gums (which are also on the register).  Together these trees combine to make a striking landscape feature and provide valuable food and habitat for local wildlife.
