The Grandfather Tree is reputed to be the oldest tree in Gawler. The sign on the tree indicates it was planted around 1800, but it’s not really known how old the tree is.
Either way, if you take a walk around it, you’d be hard pressed to find a tree in Gawler with as big a circumference as this one (but if you do, tell us about it in your log).
Please don’t walk across the old Croquet green enclosure - they play pétanque here now and players know the cache is here.
Special thanks to breker for showing this place to us.
