The Bilstons Tree
About 15 km further north along the Chetwynd Rd is a signposted turnoff on the left to Bilstons Tree which is considered to have the largest volume of millable river red gum in the world. It is thought to be 800 years old and stands over 40m high with a girth of seven metres, consisting of 9100 cubic feet of timber. In recent years a large limb has fallen and a local artist has carved over 16 native animals into the fallen limb, this is a must see if you’re in the area.
