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.

Toyota Tuarts

These three trees opposite Mandurah Toyota are a rare example of the type of vegetation which naturally occured in the central Mandurah area.  Trees of this size are rare in central Mandurah and will be retained as part of future developments and incorporated into adjacent landscaping.  These massive old trees not only provide valuable refuge for native birds but also contibute significantly to the enhancement of the Pinjarra Road streetscape, with their towering canopies clearly visible for a great distance in both directions.
