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.

Scar Tuart

This tree is of strong significance to Mandurah's indigenous community.  The large scars on the tree trunk of this tree show where chunks of bark were removed for use by Aboriginal people.  This important tree, along with the surrounding woodland, has been protected through the purchase of land adjoining Marlee reserve as part of the City's Busland Buyback program.
