MS - Adm. Broeren Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

HB-vanislelady: Well the time has come to remove this cache before the road becomes completely overgrown. Really wish it would continue to be maintained but see no sign of that. WAs up here today showing family the trees and the cave and this was on the list. So for one last time I got to see this beautiful tree. So glad everyone enjoyed their visit as well.

Adm Broeren
The world’s largest standing Yellow Cedar is nicknamed Admiral Broeren and is located in the nearby Bigtree Creek drainage. It became the world’s largest cedar, when then champ Sergeant Randally decided enough was enough and fell over in March 2004, just before a recreation site was opened in its honour. Both trees can still be seen in the Memekay Valley.

Champion trees in North America are determined using a point system that awards 1 point per inch of circumference at breast height, 1 point per foot in height, and 1 point for every 4 feet diameter of the live crown. The number 2 yellow cedar in the record book is Admiral Broeren (575 points)

From Big Tree Main, following signs for Adm. Broeren, take Cooper Creek Main to North Main, and then turn onto N1800. Approx 6 - 7 km from Cooper Creek main. Road requires a vehicle with clearance. 2 wheel drive is OK. Leave the Mercedes at home.
